| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, an aerodynamic herringbone-grooved journal bearing flexibly supported by a flexible structure using straight spring wires was proposed for high-speed turbo-machines. The instability threshold of proposed bearing structure was investigated numerically and experimentally. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the support structure were measured. The following conclusions can be drawn. 1) The proposed flexible support structure can provide reliable and repeatable dynamic stiffness and damping coefficient for a bearing bush. 2) The stability of the rotor increased with decreasing dynamic stiffness of the flexible structure within the conditions indicated in this paper; increasing the damping coefficient of the flexible structure can also improve the stability. 3) It was confirmed experimentally and numerically that the 6-mm-diameter rotor with a mass of 4.8 g flexibly supported by a proposed bearing can rotate stably at speeds of more than 700,000 rpm.
