Abstract
Noncircular lobed journal bearing performance, in comparison with circular types, depends on various design parameters such as tilt and mount angles. Mounting orientation of this kind of bearings with respect to machine frame (mount angle) and also the way of setting their lobes with respect to each other (tilt angle), can change the bearings configuration and as the result their performances. In present study the thermo-hydrodynamic performance of noncircular two, three and four lobed journal bearings for different values of tilt and mount angles, using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method, are investigated. The results show that the thermal effects on these bearings performance are considerable and that the thermal consideration makes the results closer to real performance situations. The results of bearings performances due to rise in temperature in rotor, lubricant fluid and bearing shell, when compared to their isothermal conditions, show that viscosity of lubricant as well as load carrying capacity of bearings are decreased, depending on tilt and mount angles especially in case of two lobed bearings. The results also show that the effects of tilt and mount angles on bearing performance are periodic and so it is possible to select these angles suitably for bearings to be optimum.

Abstract
Improvement of behavioral indicators of oil journal bearings has particular importance due to the increasing development of their application as support of rotary components in industrial machinery. Creation of regular roughness (texture) with various geometries on the inner surface of a bearing shell is one of the newest methods proposed by the lubrication researchers to enhance the performance of the hydrodynamic journal bearings. In this study, the comparison of the performance of circular bearings with variable cubic, cylindrical and ellipsoid textures of different depths arranged in a different zone of the shell has been evaluated. For this purpose, the governing Reynolds equation on hydrodynamic lubrication of oil journal bearing was modified considering the changes of the film thickness affected by the geometry and position of the textures. This equation was solved by finite element numerical method, applying the assumption of the Reynolds boundary condition for determining cavitation zone. After obtaining the lubricant pressure profile, the parameters of steady-state performance of the bearing with different texture types were calculated and compared together. Results indicate that the creation of textures with any geometry reduces the lubricant pressure and changes the parameters of the bearing performance. Also, the placement of textures in the maximum pressure area leads to significant changes in performance components while their positioning in the lubricant cavitation region has a weak effect on the bearing behavior. Further, the results show that the difference in characteristics of bearing performance with shallow textures is more considerable and with the increase of textures depth the effect of geometry form on the performance will be reduced.

Abstract
The lubricant's ability to maintain the dynamic stability of rotor particularly in special conditions such as operating at critical speeds and instantaneous turbulences in loading or lubricant properties is always one of the most prominent characteristics of the journal bearings. Aspect or length to diameter ratio of bearing is an important factor that in different loading conditions will have an obvious effect on the performance of the trapped lubricant film between the rotor surface and bearings shell. So, the effects of aspect ratio on the damping of rotor disturbances with linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis approaches are studied in this research. Initially, the static equilibrium point of the rotor center in noncircular two, three and four lobe bearings space is obtained using the governing Reynolds equation of micropolar lubrication for different values of aspect ratio. Later, assuming the rotor perturbation as the limit cycle oscillations around the equilibrium point, critical mass and whirl frequency ratio are determined as the linear dynamic stability indexes for recognizing the converging disturbances. In nonlinear analysis model, the simultaneous solving of the lubrication and the rotor motion equations in successive time steps with Runge-Kutta method is done to differentiate the converging or diverging rotor perturbations. Results show that decreasing the aspect ratio improves the stability and the chance of controlling disturbances and returning the rotor center to static equilibrium position. Comparison of linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis results also indicates more cautious behavior and limited stability range of linear model in most of investigated cases.
