| Abstract | ||||
| In fact, attaining the final most beneficial target of improving the oil film lubrication for marine purposes can be said to have passed through several main stages up till now. The first stage has involved the initial design and construction of the journal bearing test rig marked by sufficient validity for embracing the potential experimental studies. Those studies were concerned with the lubricating oil within the journal bearing [1]. Notwithstanding, the need has then arisen for the second stage which involved carrying out a comprehensive modification and conversion in regard to the journal bearing test rig, aiming at enlarging its capacity and range to endure more sophisticated experiments. The modification has involved adding a hydraulic loading system as well as full monitoring process via SCADA system, for the sake of facilitating conducting all potential experiments relating the critical operating factors that might otherwise affect the journal bearing performance. This paper is representing the second step in the long uninterrupted series of efforts seeking to outline the results of a proposed research program for marine applications under the title of “Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of the Performance of Journal Bearing”. The program will deal with different design and construction aspects of journal bearing, with special reference to marine applications. | ||||
