Abstract

The evolution of journal bearings, from fixed profiles to adaptive configurations, signifies a captivating progression in journal bearing technology. A notable innovation in adaptive bearings is Multi-pad Bidirectional Adjustable Bearing (MBAB), which can control film thickness in radial and circumferential directions. This paper introduces a novel data-driven approach, utilizing machine learning to model and optimize the static performance of MBABs with asymmetric bearing element adjustments. The study uses a parameter-independent Jaya algorithm coupled with machine learning models to identify optimal combinations of adjustments. Results highlight the significance of negative radial adjustments and asymmetric profiles for optimal performance. This research contributes to Industry 4.0 by bridging the physical-digital gap, offering a data-driven solution to enhance the performance of these advanced bearings.
