TY - JOUR AU - Siddiqui, Abdul AU - Rao, Pieter AU - Fernández, Nurul TI - On Journal Bearing Lubrication JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 1984 VL - 8 IS - 1 SP - 762 EP - 777 AB - Efficient utilisation of scarce resources in municipal water supply requires accurate and dependable models of journal bearing lubrication. The continuous formulation is discretised and the resulting algebraic system is solved by limit-state analysis. The critical value of journal bearing lubrication is found to lie within 51% of the theoretical estimate. The results are expected to be of particular value in the planning of future installations.
