Abstract: The integrity and reliability of a rotor depend significantly on the dynamic characteristics of its bearings. Bearing design has been altered in many ways in order to achieve improvement in terms of damping and stiffness. ...

Abstract: The main objective of the current work is to determine a relationship between the top and bump foil's geometry and loadcarrying capacity in a journal compliant generation I air foil bearing, as well as determining the ...

Abstract: A rotorbearing system is simulated in this study to investigate the effect of worn journal bearings on the system response and to specify the eventual development of additional frequency components. The wellknown symmetric ...
