SOLUTION OF THE STABILITY PROBLEM FOR 360 DEGREE SELF-ACTING, GAS-LUBRICATED BEARINGS OF INFINITE LENGTH

Abstract

The stability of self-acting, gas-lubricated bearings was investigated. Two approaches to the solution are presented and their results are compared. Also, the relation between the present work and other, more simplified, methods available in the literature is discussed. The particular case of a 360 degree journal bearing of infinite length is treated, and the changes necessary to use the same theories with other geometries are pointed out. Available experimental results are collected and compared with theory.
