The paper studies the problem of elliptical whirl of perfectly alined, finite, flooded, journal bearings, with incompressible isoviscous lubricant; it bases itself on Reynolds's equation. Explicit solutions are obtained, using the long (L/D≫ 1) and short (D/L ≫ 1) bearing approximations.

The physical situations corresponding to the solutions obtained are those of unloaded and constant-loaded bearings, with elastic, massive, frictional suspensions. The agreement with empirical findings is generally good, and the paper is published in the hope that further experimental research will be stimulated by it.
