[Abstract]　A prototype of a circular hydrodynamic journal bearing to control temperature distributions of the bearing bush and the oil film was manufactured, with a preliminary experiment subsequently conducted to evaluate the extent of vibration suppression within the bearing. The specifications of the bearing were as follows: a bearing diameter of 50 mm, a bearing length of 50 mm, and a radial clearance of 0.025 mm. The bearing bush was divided into six parts, and five Peltier devices were installed for cooling and heating each part. The parameters of the experiment were as follows: a load up to 100 N, a rotational speed up to 35 rps, and a lubricating oil of ISO VG22. When the lower half of the bearing bush was cooled and the upper half was heated, the vibration was suppressed under a specific operating condition.

[Abstract]　The possibility of improving the static characteristics of hydrodynamic bearings using the inverse viscosity-temperature relations of liquid lubricants is theoretically examined. A simplified model that comprises the Reynolds equation with a change in the mean oil viscosity across the film as a function of temperature and that is based on the thermal lubrication theory is applied. The solutions are numerically obtained for linear sliding bearings, tapered land bearings, and cosine pad bearings, wherein the temperature distributions are given as known values and the viscosity distributions are determined beforehand. The bearing geometry and temperature profiles are selected as parameters. When the temperature in the converged region close to the minimum clearance is low, the fluid pressure becomes larger; thus, the friction coefficient becomes smaller, whereas the leakage flow rate changes slightly. This behavior may contribute to improving the static characteristics of hydrodynamic bearings.

［概要］　ジャーナルすべり軸受は，高速回転軸を有する多くの機械をはじめ，工業分野で幅広く用いられている．そのような軸受の摩擦損失の低減や摩耗耗，焼付きの回避などには， 潤滑状態を左右する軸受すきまを適切に維持し，制御する必要がある．潤滑状態を左右する第一因子は，粘度である．本研究では，油膜内部の温度分布を能動的に与えて，任意の運転状態における最適な油膜粘度分布を発現させることで，軸受の最適制御の可能性を実験的に探る．
