..., ε donates the eccentricity ratio, φ_x and φ_y denote the rotor tilt angles and z_m signifies the rotor tilt center. The previous work above focus on the rotor-bearing system with complete alignment, however, angular misalignment...

..., this paper aims to evaluate the effects of static and dynamic angular misalignments of the bearing runner on the performance of a gas-lubricated foil thrust bearing. Design/methodology/approach The bearing runner is allowed a maximum angular misalignment that produces a minimum gas film thickness as low...
