A method for calculating spring and damping coefficients for the tilting-pad journal bearing is presented. The analysis includes the effect of pad inertia. Numerical results are given in form of design curves for the centrally pivoted 4-shoe, 5-shoe, 6-shoe, and 12-shoe journal bearing. A comparison with test results is included. This paper deals with the effects of lubricant compressibility on the pressure profile and total load capacity in a partial journal bearing; pivot pressure as a measure of shoe load capacity; shoe friction characteristics; and optimum shoe clearance ratios for various speeds. The parameter λ is used as an indicator of the compressibility effect of gas in the bearing clearance. Contributed by the ASLE Technical Committee on Bearings and Bearing Lubrication and presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers held in Chicago, Illinois, May, 1964.
