Abstract

This paper is concerned with a new design procedure of externally pressurized incompressible circular bearings. New charts have been developed, according to the method of bearing compensation, for evaluating of the performance characteristics of the bearing which are, the load carrying capacity, the volume flow rate and the static stiffness of fluid film. This procedure
will give a good result for designer.
