Abstract: Magnetic bearings are subject to performance limits which are quite different from those of conventional bearings. These are due in part to the inherent nonlinearity of the device and in part ...

Abstract: The calculation of the damped eigenvalues of a large multistation gas turbine by the complex matrix transfer procedure may encounter numerical difficulties, even on a large computer due to ...

Abstract: Magnetic journal bearings are coming into increasing use in industry today. They are primarily used to replace either rolling element or fluid film bearings in rotating machinery. The major ...

Abstract: Many rotating machines such as compressors, turbines, and pumps have long thin shafts with resulting vibration problems. They would benefit from additional damping near the center of the shaft. ...
