Figure 23-25: Partial journal bearing.

The resultant pressure distribution around the partial journal bearing excluding, P ₀ oil film pressure at the point where ? = 0

where

where k = h is the thickness of oil film at maximum pressure value

Pressure at any point in a partial journal bearing

To determine the attitude ? and attitude angle ? for various values of S and for an idealized offset partial bearing having the maximum load capacity corresponding to a given attitude

Refer to Figs. 23-26 and 23-27 respectively.
