Hydrodynamic instability in plain journal bearings

An entirely new theoretical concept of hydrodynamic instability, oil whirl, is presented. Starting from Reynolds Equation and employing the short bearing approximation due to Ocvirk the equations of motion of a journal on an oil film are deduced. Only plain journal bearings and rigid shafts are cons...
