Design and test of a Pareto optimal flat pad aerostatic bearing

This paper first introduced the concept of true Pareto optimal design to the field of air bearings and has since been cited by a number of international authors in journals around the world. This paper also proposed a method of assessing bearing performance over a range of operating conditions. Generally, the optimisation of air bearings now uses the concept of Pareto optimal performance. The research received direct support from industry, Newway, and was followed by collaboration with National University of Singapore.
