Abstract
The slip surface has a significant effect on the tribological performances of a slider bearing and a hydrodynamic journal bearing. Less attention has been paid to the influence of a boundary slip on a hybrid journal bearing. However, hybrid journal bearings are increasingly used due to their intrinsic advantages. The effects of slip surface on the performances of a hybrid journal bearing are studied in this work. The affecting rule of both the slip-region location and the size on the load-carrying capacity is obtained. Only a well-designed slip surface could improve the tribological performances of hybrid journal bearings. This work could provide a valuable guide for the design of a slip surface in high-speed hybrid journal bearings.
