Dynamic coefficients of a bearing are basic elements of rotor dynamics analysis. At present, there are still some issues in the calculation of the dynamic coefficient of air foil bearing. In this paper, the dynamic coefficients of the air foil bearing are calculated by time-domain identification. This method does not need to linearize the system equations, so it is generally applicable to different models for air foil bearings. Using the established method, this paper verified the calculation results using the foil model with axial uniform deformation for the first time, and the influence of the foil model on the dynamic coefficients was studied. The calculation results of the foil models with axial uniform deformation and axial independent deformation have significant differences. Furthermore, the accuracy of the dynamic coefficient method for different disturbance amplitudes was compared. The results indicate that the dynamic coefficient method has good accuracy over a large disturbance range.
