Abstract
Stiffness and damping coefficients are presented for the 5-pad tilt-pad bearing for various preloads, offsets, length to diameter ratios and pad loadings (on and between pad). Finite elements and the pad assembly method are used to calculate these coefficients and the effects of the unloaded pads are included. Design curves suitable for tilt-pad bearings in widespread industrial use are presented.
