A high-speed photography study of cavitation in a dynamically loaded journal bearing

摘要: The earlier study made by Jacobson and Hamrock on the cavitation of liquid lubricant films in a dynamically loaded journal bearing was repeated with quartz sleeve, which more rigid than Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) sleeve used previously. Various improvements test rig were concomitantly so that experimental errors could be better controlled assessed. updated speed photography experiment its results are described.
