Abstract: Although gas-lubricated tilting-pad bearings are widely used in high-speed turbomachinery, the theoretical prediction of the dynamic characteristics of tilting-pad gas bearings is also a very ...

Abstract: Tilting-pad gas bearings are widely used in high-speed rotating machines due to their inherent stability characteristics. This paper advances the analytical method for prediction of the dynamic ...

Abstract: Journal misalignment usually exists in journal bearings that affect nearly all the bearings static and dynamic characteristics including minimum oil film thickness, maximum oil film pressure, maximum oil film temperature, ...
