Foil Bearing Design Manual

Abstract

A compendium of theoretical and experimental results, available at the present in the field of foil bearings, is presented. Design formulae and brief explanations of concepts are given for self-acting and externally pressurized foil-bearings, with reference to applications in the transport of flexible media and the support of rotating machinery.
