Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Polymer based additives with long chain of suspended particles in oil retain polarity effect in the presence of couple stresses. Further, at high speed of journal bearing, the oil film experiences substantial agitation due to pressure-viscosity interaction which evolve piezo-viscous dependency of the lubricant. The present article addresses the combined effects of piezo-viscous dependency and couple stresses of lubricant on the characteristics of multi-recessed hybrid journal bearing under misaligned operation. To govern the flow of piezo-viscous-polar lubricant in clearance space of the journal bearing, a piezo-polar function is used to obtain the modified form of Reynolds equation. Galerkin’s technique is employed to obtain the finite element formulation in the form of algebraic equation, which is solved to determine the unknown pressure field in the bearing system. The present results reveal that the use of piezo-viscous-polar lubricant offers an enhancement in performance characteristics of bearing system, i.e., a significant hike of 13–36%, 27–30% and 7–10% in the values of S¯, C¯ and ω¯ respectively vis-à-vis Newtonian lubricant. The numerically simulated non-dimensional results presented in the article may be useful to generate the bearing design data of the hybrid journal baring system functioning in realistic and stringent operating conditions.
