Abstract
This paper describes the development of a finite element analysis prog ram for the nonlinear and time-dependent Reynolds equation based on an incremental formulation. This program can be utilized to predict the dynamic behavior of gas-lubricated grooved journal bearings. The accur acy of the program is clearly demonstrated through analyses of both no n grooved and grooved journal bearings.
