Rotordynamic Analysis of Piezoelectric Gas Foil Bearings with a Mechanical Preload Control Based on Structural Parameter Identifications

This paper presents a rotordynamic analysis and experimental characterization of a novel concept of a controllable gas foil bearing (C-GFB) with piezoelectric (PZT) actuators. The C-GFB consists of bump foil structures and three PZT actuators, and the PZT actuators push the bump foil structures in d...
