    Abstract: A method and apparatus for radial and axial hybrid bearings using gas sector(s) and magnetic sector(s) to increase bearing load capacity and stiffness, reduce bearing size and bearing span, and reduce cost comprises a stator and a rotor. An illustrative embodiment of a stator for use with a hybrid bearing may include one or more bearing pads positioned in a gas sector, and the stator may also include one or more magnetic sectors. The hybrid bearings may provide for the elimination of much of the magnetic bearing structure and associated power electronics using a pressurized gas/air bearing to react the bearing steady load while reserving the magnetic bearing and its controls to react dynamic loads and stabilize the bearing. In addition, the magnetic bearing controls for a hybrid bearing may be used to monitor bearing operating condition and provide communications of these conditions to the outside world.

    Abstract: A module flexible ligament damper includes an cylindrical inner structure with a central axis and an outer cylindrical surface. An outer casing with an inner cylindrical surface is positioned around the inner structure. A modular ligament with an inner flange and an outer flange connected by a web is positioned between the inner structure and the casing. The inner flange is connected to the inner structure and the outer flange is connected to the casing to support the inner structure within the casing, and to permit free orbital movement of the inner structure on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the inner structure. In one embodiment, the web is straight but does not intersect the axis of the inner structure for flexing in a radial direction. In other embodiments, the web is curved for radial flexing.
