Shenoy and Pai [12] have made the static analysis of a misaligned externally adjustable
fluid-film bearing including turbulence and couple-stress effects in lubricants blended with polymer additives.
In 1983, Heshmat began work on a program supported by NASA to develop a
fluid-film bearing for use in pumping fluids to the space shuttle's main engine.
Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) present unique advantages over conventional roller or
fluid-film bearings when designing high-speed rotating machinery, such as turbines, compressors, Organic Rankine Cycle systems and flywheel energy storage systems.
