INFLUENCE OF GAS BUBBLES ON NONLINEAR DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS 
OF THE OIL FILM OF A TILTING PAD BEARING

N. Ya. Khlopenko

UDC 621.822.5

The influence of a comparatively low volume concentration of gas 
microbubbles contained in oil on nonlinear characteristics describing 
the behavior of an oil film in the guide gap of a hydrodynamic 
tilting pad bearing under action of a low-frequency harmonic force 
is analyzed using a numerical dynamic model of a collar<196>oil 
film<196>pad system. It is shown that bubbles in the oil greatly affect 
the efficiency of the tilting pad bearing. Results of oil-film-dynamics 
investigations reported previously (including those of the present 
author) are generalized.
