Aerodynamic journal bearings (AJBs) are mainly being used to support and guide the high-
speed lightly loaded rotors. In the past, the investigators have done substantial efforts across …

Controllable/active bearings are mainly associated with active magnetic bearings (AMBs),
whereas active bearing control is also found in many types of bearings, eg fluid, gas and …

In the frequent start-up process of aerodynamic bearings, contact easily occurs between
journal and bearing bush. In this research, novel hybrid metal rubber-bump foil bearings …

A new bore design of a self-acting gas journal bearing has been conceived for enhancing
the load carrying capacity and dynamic stability parameters as compared to conventional …

Hybrid gas dynamic bearings (HGDBs) are designed to improve the viscous damping and
stiffness of conventional gas foil bearings (GFBs). A static load-carrying capacity model …

The axial throughflow cooling is a realistic solution for the purpose of thermal management
in the hydrodynamic gas foil bearings operating at ultra-high rotational speed and mini …

Over the past decades, experimental and theoretical studies on gas foil bearings have been
conducted extensively. The essence of the operation of these bearings lies in the use of a …

Compliant gas foil bearings are composed of two layers of thin metallic foil and a thin film of
gas to support the journal. The bottom foil creates an elastic structure which supports the top …

Gas foil bearings are a smart green technology and suitable for the next generation of small
turbo machinery eg turbochargers, micro gas turbines, range extenders and compressors of …

Gas foil journal bearings (GFJBs) have been widely employed in high-speed rotating
machinery in the aviation industry. However, the role of fluid–structure interaction in the …
