Gas Foil Bearings (GFBs) With Different Bump Foil Materials
Abstract: There is a significant attention on GFBs in recent times owing to its oil free technology and suitability over a wide arrays of operating conditions. However GFBs have considerably low load carrying capacity as compared to a normal gas bearings (GBs). The present paper investigated the static analysis and comparison of the load capacity of the bump-type GFBs for a simple foil configuration considering only deflection of bump foils. Different …
