Abstract

While the foil bearing technology is well established, some inherent issues must be addressed at the design stage to vastly expand its utilization. This paper highlights the need for one of the critical problems dealing with the need for accurate prediction of maximum temperature of the shaft and bearing to avoid failure due to thermoelastic instability (TEI). A brief description of the cause and consequence of TEI along with a simple prediction methodology is presented.
