A periodic (displacement) disturbance is imposed on an aerostatic, porous, journal bearing of finite length under steady-state conditions. The dynamic pressure distribution is obtained by a pressure perturbation analysis of Reynolds equation and a modified flow continuity equation in a porous medium. Dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients for different operating conditions are calculated numerically, using a digital computer, and presented in the form of design charts.
