ATTENUATION OF BEARING TRANSMITTED NOISE. VOLUME I. SPRING AND DAMPING COEFFICIENTS FOR THE TILTING-PAD JOURNAL BEARING

Abstract : A method for calculating spring and damping coefficients for the tilting pad journal bearing is presented. The analysis includes the effect of pad inertia. Numerical results are given in form of design curves for the centrally pivoted 4 shoe, 5 shoe, 6 shoe, and 12 shoe journal bearing. A comparison with test results is included.
