This secondpart used computer programs, which were based on thetheoretical model, to examine various case studies that pertainto this thermal instability. Both plain and tilting padjournal bearing rotors were examined and good agreementwas found between the theoretical predictions and the practicalresults.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalArticle - Refereed2017-09-18Copyright © 2004 Hindawi Publishing Corporation.
