In swing pad bearing, the pad is supported by curved layers of a l t m t e luminates of elastomer and metul. The hydrodynamic wedge is formed by the swing of the pad about the center of curvature of the laminate as a result of fluid fi-iction force. This paper extends the previous analysis (Dawson, (1)) by including the stiffi~esses of the laminates under the pad in the equilibrium analysis of the pad and metal shim. The deformation of the curved elastomer layers is assumed to consist of compression, bending and shearing of the curved layer. The latter two contribute to the swing of pad surface. Each of the deformation mode has been formulated and the deflections have been calculated in the form of Fourier series. An example is given using water as lubricant.

The Swing-Pad Bearing: An Experimental Evaluation

Abstract: The characteristic performance of the swing-pad bearing is evaluated in a parative study with the tilting-pad bearing. Frictional data are presented, together with representative pressure and film thickness distributions under both rigid elastomer shoes.
