Abstract A finite groove approach (FGA), based on the finite element method (FEM), is used for analyzing the static and dynamic behavior of spiral-grooved aerodynamic journal bearings at different eccentricities, number of grooves, and compressibility numbers. The results of the FGA are compared with the narrow-groove theory (NGT) solutions. For the rotating-groove case, a novel time-periodic solution method is presented for computing the quasi-steady-state and dynamic pressure profiles. The new method offers the advantage of avoiding time-consuming transient integration, while resolving a finite number of grooves. The static and dynamic solutions of the NGT and FGA approach are compared, and they show good agreement, even at large eccentricities (ε=0.8) and high compressibility numbers (Λ = 40). Stability maps at different eccentricities are presented. At certain operation points, a stability decrease toward larger eccentricities is observed. The largest stability deviations of the NGT from the FGA solutions occur at large groove angle, low number of grooves, and large compressibility numbers.

Brazed joints are widely used in the plate fin structures, and it is very important to ensure the strength under dynamic pressure. This paper investigated the dynamic fracture mechanism of 316L brazed joints using experimental and finite element method. Results show that the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of the brazed joint are closely related with the strain rate. Using the finite element method, the strain rate sensitive model (Johnson-Cook) is built, and the brazed joint shows a multi-axial fracture mode. Meanwhile, the brazed residual stress and filler metal thickness affect the dynamic fracture behavior of the brazed joint.
