Cover Story: The ball-and-socket (B&S) stiffness of tilting pad journal bearings (TPJB) is still estimated by means of Hertzian formulas. Recently, some authors have used the finite element method, but it seems that nothing has been done experimentally to date. To fill this gap, a test rig was realized by equipping the grippers of a tensile universal testing machine with specifically designed interfaces and different displacement sensors. The experimental compression results were best fitted to obtain an analytical displacement—load curve, deriving which the stiffness of a TPJB B&S pivot was evaluated. Preliminary compression results are presented and compared with the analytical ones obtained using Hertz’s formula showing significant differences for the B&S conformal contact. View this paper
