N2 - Hydrodynamic journal bearings induced serious shaft vibrations called oil whirl. Since they often give severe damages to the mechanical systems, it is important to fully understand the phenomenon to avoid the occurrence by the proper bearing design. This study theoretically and experimentally investigated both cylindrical and conical whirl instabilities, which can be appeared in journal bearings, and their relation was discussed. As the result, the span length of the bearings had a significant effect on the vibration mode. The transitional state in which the cylindrical and conical whirl instabilities alternately appeared was observed.
