The analytical mobility method for dynamically loaded journal bearings was presented, with the intent to include it in a general computational program, such as the dynamic analysis program, that has been developed for the dynamic analysis of general mechanical systems. An illustrative example and numerical results were presented, with the efficiency of the method being discussed in the process of their presentation.

The mobility-whirl angle method as introduced by Booker in 1964, has been applied to pivoted pad journal bearings to predict the behavior of a rotor supported in this type of bearing. Both the single pivoted pad and the complete radial bearing with three equally spaced radial pads have been analyzed. It will be shown that the method is restricted to the case where the value of the load on each pad has to be known from the start. Some experiments have been carried out on a squeeze apparatus. The results are in reasonable agreement with numerical results.

For dynamically loaded journal bearings the classic analysis problem is prediction of the motion of a journal center under arbitrary loading. In most cases its speed and simplicity makes the mobility method seem the logical solution procedure. This paper reviews the method and details its numerical application, including particular examples for reciprocating machinery.
