A Study Of Parameters That Affect Pivoted Shoe Journal Bearing Performance In High-Speed Turbomachinery.

Scan DeCamillo is Manager of Research and Development for Kingsbury, Inc., in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is responsible for design, testing, analysis, and development of Kingsbury fluid film bearings for worldwide industrial and military applications. He began work in this field in 1975 and has since provided engineering support to industry regarding problem solving, design improvement, application, and operation of hydrodynamic bearings in various machinery. During the course of his work, Mr. DeCamillo has developed pelformance and structural tools for bearing analysis, established design criteriafor power, naval, and nuclear applications, and has contributed information to ASM, AISI, EPRI, NASA, and API for various publications and specifications. He is an inventor and author of several technical papers. Mr. DeCamillo received his B.S. degree (Mechanical Engineering) from Drexel University. He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Pennsylvania and a member of the Vibration Institute, ASM, ASME, and STLE.
