Abstract: Segment type vertical guide bearings are widely used for vertical rotating machinery; nevertheless, bearing problems, such as excessive vibration and temperature rise, frequently take place in the ...

Abstract: An experimental study is performed to investigate the frequency effects of the excitation force on the linear stiffness and damping coefficients of a LOP (load on pad) type five-pad tilting ...

Abstract: Inlet pressure effects on the thermohydrodynamic performance of a 4-pad large tilting pad journal bearing are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The theory takes into account the ...
