Approximated Stiffness Coefficients in Rotor Systems Supported by Bearings with Clearance

Many kinds of rotating machinery are supported by bearings with clearance, which are further clamped in a supporting structure. When designing such machinery it is important to be able to predict dynamics and hence valid models are needed. Due to gravity, the shaft often vibrates close to a static e...
