Robust Design of Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings using Multi-Objective Optimization with Artificial Neural Networks

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Soheyl Massoudi

Herringbone grooved journal bearings (HGJBs) are widely used in micro-turbocompressor applications due to their high load-carrying capacity, low friction, and oil-free solution. However, the performance of these bearings is sensitive to manufacturing devia ...

Robust Design of Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings using Multi-Objective Optimization with Artificial Neural Networks

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Soheyl Massoudi

2023

Small-scale turbomachinery is increasingly used in carbon-free energy conversion systems, such as commercial or domestic scale heat pumps, fuels cells for transportation and waste heat recovery. The usage of aerodynamic bearings allows the design of compac ...

EPFL2022

The forced response of rigid rotors, supported by herringbone-grooved gas journal bearings are investigated numerically and experimentally. The rotor configurations are varied by using end cylinders, attached at both sides of the shaft. Three rotors with d ...

Stability and Unbalance Analysis of Rigid Rotors Supported by Spiral Groove Bearings: Comparison of Different Approaches

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Elia Iseli

The dynamic behavior of spiral-grooved gas bearing supported four degrees-of-freedom (DOF) rotors is investigated by means of linearized bearing force coefficients and full time-integrated transient analysis. The transient method consists of a state-space ...

Unstable tilting motion of flexibly supported gas bearing bushings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Philipp Kaspar Bättig

This paper presents measurements of the motion amplitudes from flexibly supported Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearing bushings. Measurements taken in four locations on the flexibly supported bearing bushing enable the distinction between the radial and the ...

Buoyancy-driven convection of droplets on hot nonwetting surfaces

François Gallaire, Eunok Yim

The global linear stability of a water drop on hot nonwetting surfaces is studied. The droplet is assumed to have a static shape and the surface tension gradient is neglected. First, the nonlinear steady Boussinesq equation is solved to obtain the axisymme ...

An Instrumented High-Speed Rotor with Embedded Telemetry for The Continuous Spatial Pressure Profile Measurement in Gas Lubricated Bearings: A Proof of Concept

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Karim Magdi Zakaria Abdelrahman Shalash

Pressure is one of the constitutional quantities governing the flow field in gas lubricated bearings. Knowledge of the pressure is of principal importance in the fundamental understanding of such bearings and for the calibration of reduced order models. Th ...
