A Method for Solving Stiffness of Finite Length Self-Acting Gas-Lubricated Journal Bearing

Abstract:

Based on the differential transformation method, an efficient method is proposed to calculate stiffness of finite length self-acting gas-lubricated journal bearing. Time dependent Reynolds equation in gas lubrication of the self-acting journal bearing is solved, gas film pressure distribution and stiffness of the bearing are obtained. In comparison with the partial derivative method, the proposed method for solving stiffness of self-acting gas-lubricated journal bearing is verified. The proposed method can provide the theoretical reference to the dynamic design of self-acting gas-lubricated journal bearing-rotor system.
