The evaluation of the influence of tilting on static performances of a novel elastohydrostatic thrust bearing

In a previous body of work, the authors have studied theoretically and experimentally effects compliance in novel elastohydrostatic (EHS) thrust bearing. It was observed that results obtained during experimental work performed on bearing were higher than ones predicted with numerical application. supposed upper pad is misaligned its operation. Thus, current paper targets to analyse influence tilting static performances for aforementioned order assess misalignment, comparison between through CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation performed. The also compared analytical found literature.
