This work brings an overview of the nonlinear dynamics of four-segment tilting pad journal
bearings (TPJB) in load-between-pads configuration supported on flexible pivots. We focus …

This paper shows experimental results obtained from a T100 microturbine connected with
different volume sizes. The activity was carried out with the test rig developed at the …

To reveal nonlinear dynamic rules of low viscosity fluid-lubricated tilting-pad journal
bearings (TPJBs), the effects of design parameters on journal center orbits and dynamic …

This paper presents analytical bifurcations analysis of a “Jeffcott” type rigid rotor supported
by five-pad tilting pad journal bearings (TPJBs). Numerical techniques such as …

The scope of this paper is to provide a general model of a turbocharger using approximate
analytical solutions of the hydrodynamic forces in oil films improved by correction …

Numerical simulation of three-dimensional turbulent flow and heat transfer was performed in
a multipass rectangular (AR= 2: 1) rotating cooling channel with and without turning vane in …

The stability properties of actively lubricated tilting-pad journal bearings are investigated
theoretically. The bearing preload factor and control system gains are varied, and stable and …

A new method of modeling and identification of weak nonlinear behavior of tilting pad
journal bearings (TPJBs) is proposed. A novel nonlinear model of a TPJB based on a Taylor …

Non-linear dynamic performance of rotor–bearing systems supported by plain journal
bearings strongly depends on the mathematical oil film force model. In this article, the …

An analytical model as well as calculation method is presented for the complete dynamic
characteristics of tilting-pad journal bearing. Using this model, the global oil-film forces …
