Özet

In this research, we utilized machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict the friction torque and friction coef-ficient in a statically loaded radial journal bearing. The study investigated the influence of temperature, bearing load, and rotational speed on the variation in friction torque and friction coefficient. Three different ML algo-rithms, namely, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Regression Trees (RT), were applied to experimental tribological data. Performance assessment demonstrated that ML-based models can successfully predict the variation of friction torque and friction coefficient. Furthermore, we conducted a comparative analysis to evaluate the performance of ML-based models in relation to each other. The results of this study have useful implications for the design and optimization of statically loaded radial journal bearings.
