Abstract
The limiting values of load capacity, stiffness and damping coefficients for a foil bearing are presented. The necessary conditions for high bearing numbers (journal operating at high speed) are obtained by simplifying the compressible Reynolds equation. Linearized stiffness and damping coefficients are obtained using infinitesimal perturbation method. Results of load capacity, stiffness and damping coefficients, for foil bearing are compared with those obtained for a rigid gas journal bearing. The limiting values of dynamic characteristics for a foil bearing are constant for all eccentricity ratios. ©2005 ASME
