2 Bump-Type Foil Bearings (BFBs) A gas film in series with a top foil and an under-spring element is a proven support for microturbomachinery (<200kW). Typically the top foil and shaft are coated to minimize wear & reduce friction. Applications: ACMs, micro gas turbines, turbo expanders, turbo compressors, turbo blowers, soon in automotive turbochargers Issues: Expensive & highly engineered element Nonlinear substructure: prone to show rotor sub synchronous whirl motions Thermal management advised LOW load capacity (compared to oil lubricated bearings) 2

5 Literature Review BFB supported rotors often show large amplitude sub synchronous whirl motions. Kim and San Andrés (2009) Trib. Trans., 52 Sim et al.

Tribol., 135 Impractical Selective Shimming Guidelines for Improved Stability. Prior art: A shimmed BFB increases the onset speed of rotor instability and reduces the amplitude of sub synchronous whirl motions

8 Objective Experimentally characterize the effect of shimming on a bump-type foil bearing: frequency dependent stiffness & damping force coefficients; and transient rotor speed during start up events: drag torque (friction coefficient), peak startup airborne operation X Y
9 BFB and shims Bearing dimensions L= 38.1 mm, D = 36.5 mm (L/D~ 1.0) Shims with adhesive surface. Shim pushes bumps towards rotor. Thickness =30 µm,50 µm Shims placed 120 o apart, stretch axially through bearing. FB radial clearance, c nom = ½ (D I -D s ) = mm

The bearing clearance reduces at shim locations.
12 Static load vs. BFB deflection 4 cycles of push and pull Load directed 90 degrees to top foil fixed end A third order polynomial fits regions with bump compression Bearing reaction force: F K 0 K 1 x K 3 x 3 Small BFB hysteresis loop: little mechanical energy dissipation Regions of low load (<25 N) show diametral clearance region
13 Estimated BFB Structural Stiffness BFB structural stiffness: F K( x) K1 3K3x x 2 Bearing with 100µm shims K 0 at x=0 : assembly interference fit (no clearance) Bearing stiffness increases with bearing deflection and shim thickness.

28 TC vibration measurements Original bearing Bearing with 30 µm shims Rotor on shimmed BFB does not show sub synchronous whirl motions. Bearing with 50 µm shims
29 FB post test inspection
30 Conclusion Shimmed (50 μm) BFB shows LARGEST DRY friction coefficient (f ~ ). Once airborne, drag friction factor for BFB is low [ f ~0.05]. Rotordynamic coefficients: shim thickness does not affect BFB stiffnesses; however, it increases a little the damping coefficients. The bearing with 50 μm shims has an average loss factor γ~0.62, 30% higher than γ~0.47 with original bearing. The standard deviation is higher, however. Other tests demonstrate improved rotordynamic performance of a shaft supported on a shimmed BFB.
