Numerical Calculation and Analysis of Water-Lubricated Stern Bearing Considering Elastic Hydrodynamic

Article Preview

Abstract:

The deformation of marine water-lubricated stern bearing which the lining materials are polymer materials is much bigger than the bearing built with metal materials. So, in order to improve the calculate accuracy of elastic hydrodynamic, it is necessary to consider the deformation of the lining. Both pressure and thickness distributions of water film which contrasts with the hydrodynamic lubrication are presented by the Reynolds equation, and combining with the elastic deformation of the stern bearing solved by using the finite element method theory. The result shows that the stern bearing water film pressure of elastic hydrodynamic lubrication is lower than that of hydrodynamic lubrication, while the water film thickness is larger.
