    Air-foil technology is an interesting alternative for classic rolling or oil bearings in turbomachinery. It ensures low power losses, do not require external lubrication or pressurization and is capable of working with high rotational speeds. Numerous studies brought significant improvement in materials and design solutions for the aerodynamic shaft support system. The paper presents effects of modification performed by adding intermediate foil to typical structure of air-foil bearing. The main aim of the investigation was focused on analyze of its influence on characteristic parameters and exploitation properties of operating bearing, i.e. bearing load capacity and bearing resistance to thermal runaway phenomenon [4]. The thermal runaway is also known as foil bearing thermal instability. The tests confirmed proper behavior of the modified device and brought new knowledge in air-foil technology field.

    In the theoretical analysis, three systems were identified: a rotor, a gas film and a exible structure. The mathematical analysis involves formulation of analytical equations for each of these elements and determination of their interactions. It was found that the rotor dynamics was subject to Newton's second law of motion, the gas flow in the bearing could be described by the Reynolds equation, whereas a spring-damper model was selected for the structural analysis. The Reynolds equation is a differential equation the exact solution to which is unknown. The work describes the finite difference method in detail, where the partial derivatives in the Reynolds equation are replaced by a system of algebraic equations. In order to solve the resulting system, the Alternating Direction Implicit method (ADI) was used. Thanks to those calculations, it was possible to determine the bearing dynamic characteristics using both the linear and non-linear method.
