Computer Program Operation Manual on SHABERTH. A Computer Program for the Analysis of the Steady State and Transient Thermal Performance of Shaft- Bearing Systems

This report is a self contained manual describing an advanced state- of-the-art analytical computer program (SHABERTH) for the study of steady state and transient thermal performance of rolling element bearing and shaft systems. This program embodies mathematical models describing the role of the lubricant in bearing behavior. Descriptions of these models are set forth along with a detailed description of the program organization method of solution and convergence criteria. Input data preparation forms and program output are discussed and examples are included.
