Abstract
A turbochargeris provided with an improved bearing, which may be formed as a semi-floating as a semi-floating ring journal bearing which has hydrodynamic tilting padson the inner diameter thereof and compliant structural damperson the outer diameter thereof. The compliant structural dampersare installed between an outer bearing surface and an inner surface of a bearing chamber. These compliant structural damperscan be formed as metal mesh dampersor bump foil damperswhich are effective to dissipate mechanical energy from structural damping and dry-friction.
