THEORY
The basic differential equation for pressure dist ribution in the bearingclearance under dynamic condi tions can be written as (See fig. 1 . )
Equation I1 1 when nondlmensionalized with the following substitutions:
8 = x / R , z = z/(L/2), h = h/C, p = pC2/qwR2, T = wpt, and R = w ~ / w , will readas
The film thickness (dimensionless) i s
-h = 1 + E COS 8 ( 3 )
with the use of equation ( 3 1 , equation (2) can be written as
where (b = aT/aT and E = aE/aT. In this study we have used the Reynolds
boundary conditions, which are given by:

6. Abstract
Most published work relating to dynamically loaded journal bearings are directed to determining the minimum filmthickness from the predicted journal trajectories. These do not give any information about the subsynchronouswhirl stability of journal bearing systems since they do not consider the equations of motion. It is, however,necessary t o know whether the bearing system operation is stable or not under such an operating condition. Thepurpose of the present paper is to analyze the stability characteristics of the system. A linearized perturbation
theory about the equilibrium point can predict the threshold of stability; however it does not indicate postwhirlorbit detail. The linearized method may indicate that a bearing is unstable for a given operating condition whereasthe nonlinear analysis may indicate that it forms a stable limit cycle. For this reason, a nonlinear transientanalysis of a rigid rotor supported on oil journal bearings under ( I ) a unidirectional constant load, (2) a unidirec-
tional periodic load, and (3) variable rotating load are performed. Ln,this paper, th e hydrody namic forces arecalculated after solving the time-dependent Reynolds equation by a finite difference method with a successiveoverrelaxation scheme. Using these forces, equations of motion are solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta
method to predict the transient behavior of th e rotor. With the aid of a high-speed digital computer and graphics,the journal trajectories are obtained for several different operating conditions.
