Studies on bearing properties have been carried out to develop a rotor system with improved high-speed stability and high efficiency. However, there have been few presentations on systematic design of a tilting pad journal bearing with analysis of rotor vibration and fluid properties. Therefore, this paper presents a method to systematically design a tilting pad journal bearing, where stability of the rotor system is taken into consideration, using the general-purpose software, ARMD. This paper describes the bearing design process, which meets the conditions of 0.12mm-bearing clearance and metal temperature below 75°C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
