A resilient, compliant, hydrodynamic fluid film bearing, for positioning between a stationary member and the bearing surface of a rotor, includes a bearing module formed as a unitary one-piece article having a resilient support section and a bearing surface section which overlaps its own resilient support section, or that of the next adjacent module, to provide a low cost bearing which is easy, fast and economical to manufacture and assemble.
