There are common misconceptions and occasional misapplications associated with
squeeze film dampers. The authors have worked for more than 25 years researching …

The traditional method for bearing and damper analysis usually involves a development of
rather complicated numerical calculation programs that may just focus on a simplified and …

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are components used in many industrial applications, ranging
from turbochargers to jet engines. SFDs are applied when the vibration levels or some …

As a dam** structure, squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are commonly employed in
turbomachinery. Aiming at the problem of hydrodynamic modeling and solution, this paper …

Rotor-bearing systems supported on squeeze film dampers (SFDs) show large amplitude
vibratory motions when traversing critical speeds. At these operating conditions air is drawn …

The influence of fluid inertia on the SFD force response to circular-centered motions of
arbitrary amplitude is analyzed in detail, For finite length, locally sealed SFDs, integro …

The problem of hydrodynamic lubrication under conditions of suddenly applied loads is of
practical importance and theoretical interest. For example, such conditions may occur if a …

The article presents the numerical adaptation of the “bulk flow” model for the analysis of
squeeze-film dampers of industrial design. These components are characterized by high …

A modified form of Reynolds' equation is obtained by integrating the thin film equations
across the film and approximating the nonlinear inertia terms using the lubrication theory …

Aircraft engines customarily implement squeeze film dampers (SFDs) to dissipate
mechanical energy caused by rotor vibration and to isolate the rotor from its structural frame …
