TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical study of the characteristics of a multipad plane hydrostatic thrust bearing was made taking into account the effect of rotational lubricant inertia, and design data for the load capacity, flow and stiffness and damping characteristics were obtained for practically useful radius and resistance ratios for capillary and orifice compensation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of multirecess conical hydrostatic thrust bearings were studied theoretically taking into account the effect of rotational lubricant inertia on load capacity, flow, stiffness and damping characteristics for the practically useful aspect and resistance ratios for capillary and orifice compensations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of tilt on the behavior of capillary-compensated four-recess plane hydrostatic thrust bearings were studied for conditions of no rotation and the Reynolds equation was solved by the finite difference method to obtain the pressure distribution.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method was developed using linear triangular elements to solve the two-dimensional Reynolds equation in the polar coordinate system including the rotational lubricant inertia term, and the validity of the method was verified by comparison with the finite difference solution for parallel and non-parallel operation of the hydrostatic thrust bearing.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study of the behavior of capillary compensated annular recess conical hydrostatic thrust bearings under conditions of tilt and rotation was made, and the influences of aspect ratios, cone angles and resistance ratios on the static characteristics and stiffness and damping coefficients were reported.
