Abstract
The effects of non-Newtonian lubricants on the dynamics of a 3D journal bea ring are investigated using a moving spectral element method. Comparisons a re made with the findings reported for the 2D case. The variation of LID, t he ratio of the length of the bearing to its diameter, is shown to have a s ignificant effect on the stability properties of the journal.
