Experimental analysis of a rigid rotor supported on aerodynamic foil journal bearings

Aerodynamic foil bearings are highly non linear components used or intending to be used for supporting high speed rotors (>30 krpm) of low size rotating machines (<400 kW). The non linear character comes from the highly deformable structure of the bearing made of thin steel sheets and from the...
