An Improved Air Film Model for Studying the Tilt Characteristics of Aerostatic Thrust Bearings
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, an improved mass‐spring model that treats the lubricating air film as distributed springs is proposed to calculate the static and dynamic angular stiffness of aerostatic thrust bearings. The proposed model refines the traditional mass‐spring model by introducing the spatially varying mechanical properties of the air film and the
