ABSTRACT:
A resilient support for a compliant hydrodynamic fluid bearing includes a series of corrugated spring metal strips arranged side-by-side. The corrugations on adjacent strips are displaced axially a distance equal to one-half of the wave lengths of the corrugations so that the peaks on one strip are laterally aligned with the valleys on adjacent strips. This arrangement provides a uniform matrix of support zones for the bearing sheet to minimize localized deflections of the bearing sheet. It produces a bearing sheet profile under hydrodynamic loading which is approximately cylindrical so the supporting hydrodynamic fluid film is more uniform for the generation of greater pressures over a greater area.
