The Effect of the Pivot Stiffness on the Performances of Five-Pad Tilting Pad Bearings
The role of the pivot flexibility in tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) has become essential, particularly for bearings working at high applied load and relatively high rotor speeds. Predictions from a simple bearing model with rigid pivots show incorrect estimation of the dynamic coefficients in...
