Abstract:Bearings are a key factor in achieving a good rotor dynamics performance for turbo machinery. Large compressors, steam and gas turbines for industrial applications are generally equipped with journal bearings either as tilting pad or multi-lobe bearing type. Here bearing parameters such as bearing geometry, bearing load or oil viscosity significantly alter bearing behavior and influence the rotor dynamics of the entire rotor-bearing system. In order to find an optimal set of bearing parameters for a given roto… Show more
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.
