Collapse of vapor cavitation bubbles may cause erosion wear that limits the life of the bearings. The ability to detect the occurrence of vapor cavitation using a well established condition monitoring technique is essential for the equipment operator. An experiment was conducted to investigate the vibration characteristics of vapor cavitation in steadily loaded plain journal bearings. Vibration data were collected from the bearings operating under the influence of vapor cavitation. It is shown that, vapor cavitation exhibits distinct characteristics on the vibration plots. Low amplitude, forward and reverse 0.063X frequency components, and a series of harmonics with frequencies lower than 0.5X, are observed on the full spectrum. A unique waveform with the positive peak amplitude fluctuating above and below the zero axis line is also observed. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84898861165&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.541-542.613&partnerID=40&md5=cbba0fa9f267a8e58c96578ef8cf1213 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.541-542.613 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 541-54 place_of_pub: Penang pagerange: 613-617 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038350552 issn: 16609336 citation: Yusof, R.H. and Ibrahim, I.
