A theoretical basis for static and dynamic operation of tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs)
has evolved over the last 50 years. Originally demonstrated by Lund using the pad assembly …

The journal bearings are used to support high-speed rotors in turbo machinery which often
operate above the rotor first bending critical speed. This bearing provide both lateral support …

Porous journal gas bearings, which offer advantages of high load capacity and good
stiffness compared to other types of hydrostatic gas bearings, will meet instability issues at …

For several years, researchers have presented predictions showing that using a full tilting-
pad journal bearing (TPJB) model (retaining all of the pad degrees of freedom) is necessary …

Static and rotordynamic coefficients are measured for a rocker-pivot, tilting-pad journal
bearing (TPJB) with 50 and 60% offset pads in a load-between-pad (LBP) configuration. The …

Tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs), owing to their inherent dynamic stability characteristics,
have been widely used to support the rotors of high rotating machinery such as steam and …

Most analytical models for TPJBs are based on the assumption that explicit dependence on
pad motion can be eliminated by assuming harmonic rotor motion such that the amplitude …

The investigation of steady state and dynamic effects is essential in the field of rotor
dynamics to evaluate the behavior of hydrodynamic bearings. This paper describes an …

The identification results for the linear dynamic coefficients of a KC model for a large tilting-
pad bearing in load between pad configuration are presented for specific bearing loads …
