Rotor-Bearing Dynamics Technology Design Guide. Part V. Dynamic Analysis of Incompressible Fluid Film Bearings.

Abstract

This report gives the equilibrium position, bearing coefficients, friction torque, and oil flow for plain journal, multilobe, and tilting pad journal bearings. For multilobe bearings, various combinations of preload, number of pads, and load direction are evaluated. Tilting pad bearings are analyzed for various combinations of length to diameter ratio, preload, number of pads, and load direction. (Author)
