This book deals with the functioning of hydrodynamic journal
bearings in turbomachinery. It makes particular reference to large
turbine generator and marine propulsion plant. Journal-bearing
design in this field has been based mainly on experience
supplemented by full-scale experimental test. Development is
becoming influenced to an increasing extent by research and
analysis. Particular attention is given in this book to correlation
of research and analytical work with the observed operating
characteristics of journal bearings. The physical phenomena in
bearings are complicated, and analysis is rendered convenient only
by making simplifying assumptions. The engineer must know which
assumptions are serviceable and in what operating conditions they
may be applied. Current British and European practice in journal
bearings is illus trated. An examination is made of steady running
characteristics, as predicted by theory and as established by test.
Some account is given of the dynamic characteristics of journal
bearings and of their in fluence in machine vibration. Service
experience of journal bearings is reviewed, and reference is made
to possible future trends in develop ment. The book is the outcome
of work on turbine plant with Metropolitan Vickers and its
successor Associated Electrical Industries. The A.E. . and English
Electric activities in this field have recently been incor porated
in English Electric-A.E. . Turbine-Generators Ltd. The author
expresses his gratitude to the Company for permission to publish
the results. He thanks the English Electric Co. Ltd., C. A."
