Abstract
In this paper an investigation has been made to evaluate experimentall y the performance characteristics of a misaligned 3-lobe journal beari ng. Various parameters which have been studied are: friction through c oast down time analysis, vibration responses, minimum film thickness, stiffness and damping coefficients of the fluid film, system natural f requency and damping factor. The film thickness decreases, friction in creases and system damping increases as the bearing misalignment incre ases. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
