A Thermoelastohydrodynamic Model of The Morton Effect Operating in Overhung Rotors Supported by Plain or Tilting Pad Journal Bearings

Unlike most instabilities, which are non-synchronous in nature, the Morton Effect is a synchronous phenomenon. This thermal instability occurs primarily in overhung rotors that are supported by fluid film bearings and is caused by differential viscous shearing within the bearing lubricant. The Mor...
