A method of analysis of short plain journal bearings is presented which eliminates the need of leakage factors and makes use of charts which have both analytical and experimental support. Eccentricity ratio, oil-film thickness, peak pressure, friction, and oil flow are obtainable for a given temperature. A method of estimating a maximum bearing operating temperature is suggested. Methods of evaluating the effect of elastic deflection and misalignment are also included. A method of determining a factor of safety is explained.
