RISStructural Stiffness, Dry Friction Coefficient, and Equivalent Viscous Damping in a Bump-Type Foil Gas Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: High performance oil-free turbomachinery implements gas foil bearings (FBs) to improve mechanical efficiency in compact units. FB design, however, is still largely empirical due to its mechanical ...
Bump-Type Foil Bearing Structural Stiffness: Experiments and Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas foil bearings (FB) satisfy many of the requirements noted for novel oil-free turbomachinery. However, FB design remains largely empirical, in spite of successful commercial applications. The ...
Rotordynamic Performance of a Rotor Supported on Bump Type Foil Gas Bearings: Experiments and Predictions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas foil bearings (GFBs) satisfy the requirements for oil-free turbomachinery, i.e., simple construction and ensuring low drag friction and reliable high speed operation. However, GFBs have a ...
