To analyze the influence of bump forming process on static and dynamic performances of foil gas bearing
undergoing three different bump molding processes
the behaviors of gas bearing with ideal bump structure are evaluated to emphatically compare the foil fixing modes
loading and unloading rates. The bump profile and thickness distribution for different forming processes are obtained with finite element method
and the coupled deflection equation and pressure governing equation are solved with finite difference method. Then the capacity of gas bearing is calculated by integration
the stiffness coefficients and damping coefficients are sought out with perturbation method. The results indicate that bump forming process affects the static and dynamic performances of foil bearing. Compared with the ideal bump
all kinds of bump forming technology lead a worsened bearing performance. The bump with uniform thickness and profile has stronger capacity and higher stability. In the molding process
the foil fixing modes exert obvious influence on the bearing performances
but the loading and unloading rates almost do not. For the actual bump production
it is suggested that one end of foil is fixed and another end keeps free at moderate loading and unloading rates.
