Prediction of Dynamic Coefficients of Bump-Type Foil Bearings with Bumps Considered as Link-Spring Structures

Bump-type foil bearings have demonstrated excellent performance in service experiences in recent 30 years. Due to their special structures, the performance prediction models must couple the air pressure with the elastic deflection of the compliant foil structure. The solution of air pressure has bee...
