Dynamic characteristics of a flexible rotor system supported by a viscoelastic foil bearing (VEFB)

Foil bearings have been considered as an alternative to traditional bearings with the increasing need for high-speed, high-temperature turbomachinery. However, the lack of adequate load capacity and sufficient damping capacity is a key technical hurdle to super-bending-critical operation as well as widespread use of foil bearings in turbomachinery such as turbopumps, turbocompressors and turbochargers. A new foil bearing, ViscoElastic Foil Bearing (VEFB) is suggested in this paper. The super-bending-critical operation of the conventional bump foil bearing and the VEFB is examined, as well as the structural dynamic characteristics. The structural dynamic test results show that the equivalent viscous damping of the VEFB is much larger than that of the bump bearing and that the structural dynamic stiffness of the VEFB is comparable or larger than that of the bump bearing. The results of super-bending-critical operation of the VEFB indicate that the enhanced structural damping of the viscoelastic foil dramatically reduces the vibration near the bending critical speed. With the help of increased damping resulting from the viscoelasticity, suppression of the nonsynchronous orbit is possible beyond the bending critical speed.

Journal Design Considerations for Turbomachine Shafts Supported on Foil Air Bearings

Foil air bearings can offer substantial improvements over traditional rolling element bearings in many applications and are attractive as a replacement to enable the development of advanced oil-free turbomachinery. In the course of rigorous testing of foil journal bearings at NASA Glenn Research Center, shaft failure was repeatedly encountered at high ambient temperature and rotational speed, with moderate radial load. The cause of failure is determined to be excessive non-uniform shaft growth, which increases localized viscous heating in the gas film and eventually leads to a high-speed rub and destruction of the bearing and journal. Centrifugal loading of imbalance correction weights and axial temperature gradients within the journal due to the hydrodynamic nature of the foil bearings, determined by experiment and finite element analysis, are shown to be responsible for the non-uniform growth. Qualitative journal design guidance is given to aid in failure prevention.     

A finite element model for rolling contact fatigue of refurbished bearings

Bearing refurbishing has become a popular method of extending the life of rolling element bearings. In the refurbishing process the raceways of the bearing may be ground to remove any surface damage prior to repolishing and reassembly with larger sized rolling elements. In the current study a continuum damage mechanics finite element model was developed to quantify the damage in original and refurbished bearings. After calculating the damage accumulation for a set number of contact cycles with the original bearing geometry, refurbishing is simulated by removing a layer of the original surface. The refurbished microstructural model is then subjected to additional computational contact cycles until a fatigue crack reaches the surface, signifying failure. This model preserves the fatigue damage accumulated prior to refurbishing and evaluates its influence on the refurbished bearing fatigue life. All refurbished bearing surfaces showed a significant amount of life after refurbishing with L₁₀ lives from the point of refurbishment, varying from 20% to 94% of the original L₁₀ life. The results indicate that the remaining life of the refurbished bearing population is inversely related to the time before refurbishing and is proportional to the depth of the regrinding. Results obtained from this investigation are in good agreement when compared to the Lundberg-Palmgren bearing life equation modified for analyzing the life of a refurbished bearing.     

The Experimental Study of Aerodynamic Plate-Foil Journal Bearings for High Speed Cryogenic Turboexpander

Experiments have been conducted on the application of a new type of gas lubricated self-acting journal bearing—plate-foil bearing to a high speed cryogenic turboexpander. The 25.0 mm diameter bearing consists of a rigid housing and a flexible foil element; different structure parameters of the bearing are selected in the experiments. Experimental results indicate the foil bearing presented here offers better system stability performance and high durability, and it confirmed that the application of this type of plate-foil bearing to the cryogenic turboexpander is feasible. The experiment results, including the effect of the plate-foil bearing structure parameters on the rotor-bearing system stability, are described in this paper.     

Design,Fabrication, and Performance of Open Source Generation I and II Compliant Hydrodynamic Gas Foil Bearings

Foil gas bearings are self-acting hydrodynamic bearings made from sheet metal foils comprised of at least two layers. The innermost “top foil” layer traps a gas pressure film that supports a load while a layer or layers underneath provide an elastic foundation. Foil bearings are used in many lightly loaded, high-speed turbomachines such as compressors used for aircraft pressurization and small microturbines. Foil gas bearings provide a means to eliminate the oil system leading to reduced weight and enhanced temperature capability. The general lack of familiarity of the foil bearing design and manufacturing process has hindered their widespread dissemination. This paper reviews the publicly available literature to demonstrate the design, fabrication, and performance testing of both first- and second-generation bump-style foil bearings. It is anticipated that this paper may serve as an effective starting point for new development activities employing foil bearing technology.
