description Journal bearing is an essential part of the propulsion shafting system, whose performance directly affects the safety and performance of the shaft and even the entire ship. It is an important, but also a difficult task to obtain the accurate dynamic stiffness values. In order to determine the dynamic characteristics of the journal bearing with specific structural characteristics under specific working conditions, an inverted test platform with multiple sensors for the dynamic stiffness of the heavy-load, low-speed journal bearings (HLLSJBs) was developed, and a novel dynamic test system calibration method was proposed to obtain accurate baseline data, and then the effective characteristic frequency response was gotten based on a refined fast Fourier transform method (RFFT). The present study proposed a simplified identification method to analyze the constitutive relationships between the oil film dynamic parameters and the dynamic stiffness under different rotation and loading conditions in the journal bearing, and then the accurate values of the oil film dynamic stiffness of HLLSJBs were obtained. Furthermore, the values of the structural dynamic stiffness of HLLSJBs were also obtained using a hammer impact method. A comparison with the classic theoretical analysis results reveals that the method proposed is more accurate and effective.
