Abstract: The dynamic analysis of gas-bearing systems are discussed from two points of view. The “Time-Transient” method which has been previously reported in a number of papers [1] [2] couples the ...

Abstract: This paper presents some new equations for the treatment of turbulent lubricating films when the effects of inertia cannot be neglected. The eddy-viscosity concept is used to represent the ...

Abstract: The mechanical simplicity and damping qualities of fluid-film bearings makes them attractive possibilities for spool-shaft bearings of gas turbines. The simultaneous high-speed rotation of journal ...

Abstract: This paper presents some new equations for the treatment of lubricating films when the effects of inertia cannot be neglected. These equations are necessarily more complicated than Reynolds ...

Abstract: Compliantly mounted rigid pad bearings were designed and tested for steam turbine application. This turbine utilizes exhaust gas waste heat from the main marine gas turbine. Designing these ...
