Static Performance Measurements and Model Predictions of Gas Foil Thrust Bearing with Curved Incline Geometry

Gas foil thrust bearings (GFTBs) have been successfully used to support the axial load of oil-free microturbomachinery with low drag friction due to the low viscosity of gas or air used as a bearing lubricant. However, the widespread use of GFTBs in various high-power turbomachinery still needs reli...
