| Abstract: | The effect of misalignment on the performance of a complete shell gas foil bearing is discussed. An iterative theoretical model based on the finite element method is used. The model includes membrane and elastic foundation effects in the structural model. An isothermal perfect gas is used as the lubricant fluid. Results are presented demonstrating the effect of misalignment on load capacity, minimum clearance, and moments acting normal to the journal. |
