Calculation Of Hydrodynamic Bearing variables Using Matlab

Abstract

This research explain analytical study for all variables which effective hydrodynamic bearing design like pressure, load, fraction force and oil film Thickness. The objectives of this research are to calculate the hydrodynamic bearing variables, investigate the effect of shaft misalignment and oil film thickness in pressure distribution, and analysis and plotting the result by matlab program. The study investigates deriving Reynolds Equation which controlled the pressure distribution in the hydrodynamic bearing. This equation is second order differential equation, solved this equation by finite difference method and mat lab program use to analyzing and plotting the result.
