Abstract
An orthogonally-displaced pressure dam bearing is obtained by horizontally displacing the two halves of an elliptical pressure dam bearing. This bearing is more stable than the other pressure dam and fixed geometry bearings. This paper describes the static characteristics such as film pressures, oil flow, friction, etc., and dynamic characteristics, namely spring and damping coefficients and the stability threshold speed of this bearing supporting both rigid and flexible rotors.
