Theoretical Investigations on Tribological Properties of Air Foil Thrust Bearings during Start-Up Process
During the start-up process, air foil thrust bearings (AFTBs) come into contact and are prone to localized overheating and even failure. Frequent starts and stops are the major sources of wear. In this study, a transient mixed lubrication model considering the air rarefaction effect is established....
