Abstract

This study investigates the thermohydrodynamic performance of journal bearings lubricated with palm trimethylolpropane (TMP) ester as a biolubricant, compared to conventional engine oil, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in ANSYS Fluent. The objective is to evaluate the influence of lubricant type on pressure distribution, load carrying capacity, friction force, and cavitation behavior. The results show that palm TMP ester generates higher hydrodynamic pressure while maintaining a similar pressure distribution pattern to engine oil. The load carrying capacity increases significantly by approximately 493% at 48 rad/s and 343% at 68 rad/s compared to engine oil. However, this improvement is accompanied by an increase in friction force of about 280% and 234% at the respective speeds due to higher viscosity. In addition, the vapor volume fraction ranges from 0.69 to 0.73, indicating cavitation, with palm TMP ester showing a slightly higher tendency. These findings demonstrate a trade-off between enhanced load support and increased friction, highlighting the potential of palm TMP ester as an environmentally friendly lubricant for hydrodynamic bearing applications.

Abstract

Low-rise and mid-rise structures often possess natural periods that coincide with high-energy seismic response plateaus, rendering them susceptible to significant response amplification. This study evaluates the comparative effectiveness of High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRB) in mitigating these risks for 4-story and 8-story office buildings under Indonesian seismic conditions. Using rigorous Non-Linear Time History Analysis (NLTHA) in the dominant X-direction, the research examines period elongation, lateral displacement, inter-story drift, peak floor acceleration, and base shear attenuation. Scientific findings reveal that HDRB transitions structural behavior into a near-rigid-body motion, reducing normalized inter-story drift to 0.26 and 0.12, and base shear by up to 71%. Furthermore, peak floor acceleration is curtailed by 51% to 59%, ensuring the protection of sensitive non-structural components. The results demonstrate that while base isolation provides superior seismic protection for both building scales, its efficacy in intercepting seismic energy and preventing operational disruptions is significantly more pronounced in mid-rise structures. This study confirms that HDRB is an increasingly vital strategy for enhancing functional resilience as building height increase.
