Abstract
This paper examines the effects of damped vibrational frequencies on the linear reduced dynamical stiffness and damping coefficients of tilting-pad journal bearings. The frequency ratio (damped frequency/running speed) can be used to judge the accuracy of employing synchronously reduced linear coefficients in rotordynamic stability analyses. The use of these coefficients can result in simpler formulations of the system dynamical equations of motion and solution techniques as well as reduced computational and analysis time. Results presented here indicate that synchronously reduced bearing dynamical coefficients are generally adequate for stability analyses with positively preloaded tilting-pad bearings. Plots of dynamic coefficients are included for a five-pad bearing.
