Abstract
Computer simulations of a number of journal bearing’s geometries utilising acoustic levitation were carried out. The choice of the best geometry depended on the ability of a deformed shape, created by piezo-electric elements, to facilitate squeeze film ultrasonic levitation, and also to create three evenly distributed diverging aerodynamic gaps. Deformations of analysed variants of the bearing’s shape were generated by numerical simulations utilising the finite element method. For the chosen shapes of geometry, prototype bearings were made and their usefulness verified experimentally. As a result, the bearing with the highest load carrying capacity was identified.
