... measurements and predictions of static and dynamic load characteristics of a hydrostatic thrust bearing fed with pressurized air. The current bearing model uses dynamic axial periodic motion amplitudes, that is, models as a function of the initial film thickness, to predict the dynamic force coefficients. Note...
