弹性箔片动压气体止推轴承-转子系统动力学特性分析-dynamic characteristics analysis of elastic foil dynamic pressure gas thrust bearing - rotor system.docx

AbstractFoil gas bearings are self-acting hydrodynamic compliant bearings which are supported by elastic surface. They have several advantages, such as small mass, higher reliability, no scheduled mainenance, favourable flexibility of environment and temperature, lower power loss, etc. Foil gas journal bearings and foil gas thrust bearings are its main structures. Since the 1960s and 1970s, with the technological development of aerospace, nuclear and cryogenic engineering, compliant foil gas journal bearings have been applied to high speed rotating machineries, for instance, oil-free turbine,
