Rotordynamics and design methods of an oil-free turbocharger [microform] / Samual A. Howard.

"The feasibility of supporting a turbocharger rotor on air foil bearings is investigated based upon predicted rotordynamic stability, load accommodations, and stress considerations. It is demonstrated that foil bearings offer a plausible replacement for oil-lubricated bearings in diesel truck t...
