The need for developing a mathematical model for pad-pivot friction in tilting pad proceeding bearings has been well-recognized, since previous experimental work about the performances of the bearings hypothesized that the friction in the bearings is closely related to their performances. Especially, the sliding friction between pad and pivot in the ball and socket type of the bearings can influence the performance of the bearing. We propose a mathematical model for pad-pivot friction in the ball and socket type, which considers the geometrics of the pad and pivot of the bearings, by assuming the sliding friction in the ball and socket bearing as Coulomb friction. By utilizing the proposed model for pad-pivot friction, we show the analysis of Reynolds equation and energy equation, which explain the thermo-hydrodynamic characteristics of tilting pad proceeding bearings, by taking into account the turbulence and inlet pressure building as well. The results of the study show that the performance of titling-pad proceeding bearings can be greatly influenced by the pad-pivot friction. In particular, we have shown that the analysis of the pad-pivot friction is useful to explain the static proceeding loci and the dynamic characteristics of the ball and socket type of the bearings. Furthermore, for a given operating condition, we can obtain various equilibrium states which satisfy the static equilibrium conditions, by considering the pad-pivot friction.

본 연구에서는 부채꼴형 유한폭 패드베어링에서의 선단압력을 구하기 위하여 3차원 유동모델을 제시하였으며, 이 유동모델을 기초로 하여 구해진 선단압력을 패드 선단에서의 압력경계조건으로 사용하여 유막내의 압력을 구하고 베어링의 하중지지능 력, 마찰토오크 및 윤활유량등을 계산함으로써 베어링의 성능을 해석하였다. 그 결 과 선단 압력이 크게 발생하는 운전조건일수록 선단압력을 무시한 종래의 베어링 성능 해석결과와는 상당한 차이가 있었으며, 특히 관성계수가 큰 운전조건에서 사용되는 피 봇식 추력베어링에서는 선단압력의 영향으로 인하여 하중지지능력을 최대로하는 피봇 점의 위치가 패드 선단부쪽으로 크게 이동되었다.
