Stiffness and Damping of Externally Pressurized Gas Journal Bearings with Porous Inserts

B C Majumdar · Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Mechanical Engineering Science · 1983

A theoretical analysis on stiffness and damping of externally pressurized gas journal bearings with porous inserts as restrictors is presented. The effect of stiffness and damping on squeeze number, supply pressure, feeding parameter and L/D ratio is investigated.
