A transient non-Newtonian TEHD analysis for dynamically loaded journal bearings in mixed lubrication is developed for direct problem. A mass conserving cavitation is included and viscoelasticity subsuming shear thinning is characterized by the upper converted Maxwell fluid and the power law fluid models. The Reynolds equation, the transient two-dimensional energy equation in the film, the quasi-steady-state two-dimensional heat conduction equation in the bushing and heat balance in the journal are solved using finite difference formulations. The thermal and elastic deformation equations are solved using the finite element method. The relation between the average contact pressure and the average gap is numerically determined in micro scale. Effects of roughness texture, degree of asperity contact, shear index, relaxation time, thermal and elastic deformations on bearing behavior are investigated.
