...Andres Clarens; Amir Younan; Shibo Wang; Paul Allaire Lubricants are necessary in tilting-pad journal bearings to ensure separation between solid surfaces and to dissipate heat. They are also responsible for much of the undesirable power losses that can occur through a bearing. Here, a novel method...

...Asger M. Haugaard; Ilmar F. Santos The static and dynamic properties of tilting-pad journal bearings with controllable radial oil injection are investigated theoretically. The tilting pads are modeled as flexible structures and their behavior is described using a three-dimensional finite element...
