This brief details non-circular journal bearing configurations. The author describes the mathematical and experimental studies that pertain to non-circular journal bearing profiles and how they can be applied to other types of bearing profiles with some modifications. He also examines non-circular journal bearing classifications, the methodology needed to carry out mathematical modeling, and the experimental procedures used to determine oil-film temperature and pressures.

Discusses non-circular journal bearings such as elliptical, offset, lemon, two-lobed, and multi-lobed Examines experimental procedures that describe the measurement of pressure and oil-film temperature Explains non-circular journal bearing classifications and methodology for the purposes of mathematical modeling Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
