Thrust: Investigate conventional bearings of low cost, easy to manufacture (common materials) and easy to install & align. Combine hybrid (hydrostatic/hydrodynamic) bearings with low cost coating to allow for rub-free operation at start up and shut down. Major issues: Little damping, Wear at start & stop, Nonlinear behavior (subsync. whirl)", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
