The quantitative impact of pivot position, pivot support stiffness, and deformation on frequency dependency of a stiffness (K) and damping (C) KC matrix model for tilting-pad journal bearings is investigated. A theoretical model for prediction of frequency influences is introduced neglecting inertia effects. Predictions based on this model are validated with test data taken from literature. The results achieve good agreement with experimental data. A sensitivity analysis is performed providing the following key results: (i) all three investigated parameters possibly exhibit non negligible frequency influences, (ii) significant misinterpretations are possible if single influencing parameters on the operation conditions are disregarded or only roughly estimated, (iii) a frequency independent KCM model is suitable for off-center pivot position and sub-synchronous frequency ratios, (iv) a state-space model separating rotor and pad movement is necessary to model all theoretical possible effects by a linear model with frequency independent coefficients for a certain rotor speed.

“…Another alternative to model tilting-pad journal bearings dynamically is a state-space model developed based on a theoretical analysis of the system. One of the first studies using this approach is presented by Parsell et al [7]. State-space models have been extended to include radial pad motion due to limited pad stiffness [8].…”

Each pad has a radius of curvature Rp, which is not necessarily equal to the nominal bearing radius Rb. If Rp is larger than Rb, which is usually the case, the bearing is said to be positively preloaded since each pad when centered forms a converging-diverging wedge which generates a hydrodynamic load.

This paper gives a theoretical and experimental contribution to the problem of active modiJication of the dynamic coefficients of tiltingpad journal bearings, aiming to increase the damping and stability of rotating systems. The theoretical studies for the calculation of the bearing coeficients are based on the fluid dynamics, specifically on the Rqrnolds equation, on the dynamics of multibody systems and on Premnted aa a Soclety of Triboiogists and Lubrication Engineers paper at the ASMEISTLE Tribology Conference in Lahaina, Hewaii, ~c t o b e r 16-20, 1994 Flnal manuscript approved August 3, 1994 some concepts of the hydraulics. The experiments are carried out by means of a test rig specially designed for this investigation. The four pads of such a bearing are mounted on fourflexible hydraulic chambers which are connected to a proportional valve. The chamber pressures are changed by means of the proportional valve, resulting in a displacement of the pads and a modification of the bearing gap. By changing the gap, one can adjust the dynamic coeficients of the bearing. With help of an experimental procedure for identihing the bearing coef/icients, theoretical and experimental results are compared and discussed. The advantages and the limitation of such hydrodynamic bearings in their controllable form are eualuated with regard to application on the high-speed machines. di,. hi, = damping and stiffness coefficient of oil film -d . . j;..
