STUDY ON THE METHOD OF FATIGUE STRENGTH DESIGN FOR DYNAMICALLY LOADED JOURNAL BEARING

In this paper, a novel design method, which is different from the traditional and empirical one (i. e. , taking p and pv as the basic checking parameters) is presented for the fatigue strength design of dynamically loaded journal bearings. The method makes it possible that dynamically loaded bearings can be designed as same as other machine elements hy stress-strength criterion. The practical design results show that the method has high accuracy and reliability, and may open a new vista in bearing fatigue designs.
