Journal bearings are critical components in rotating machinery, influencing the performance, reliability, and longevity of the system. This study investigates the performance of journal bearings under variable load conditions, and lubrication mechanisms., we analyze the response of journal bearings to fluctuating loads, which mimic real-world operating conditions. Key performance indicators such as pressure distribution, film thickness, temperature rise, and friction coefficients were monitored and analyzed. The study reveals how varying load magnitudes and frequencies impact the stability and efficiency of the bearing. We also examine the influence of different lubrication regimes and oil viscosities on the bearing’s performance under these conditions. The results indicate that journal bearings exhibit significant changes in performance metrics under variable loads, highlighting the importance of accurate load predictions in design and maintenance practices. The findings provide valuable insights into optimizing bearing designs and selecting appropriate lubrication strategies to enhance the operational stability and lifespan of rotating machinery. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complex interactions within journal bearings, paving the way for advancements in predictive maintenance and reliability engineering.
