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 …

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) reduce vibrations and aid in suppressing instabilities in high
performance rotor-bearing systems. However, air ingestion and entrapment, pervasive in …

Measurements of dynamic film pressures and high-speed photographs of the flow field in an
open-ended Squeeze Film Damper (SFD) operating with natural free air entrainment are …

An experiment was carried out to investigate the distribution of oil pressure within a squeeze
film damper. The damper was made so that its operation turned out to be as simple as …

One type of test performed for evaluating bearings for application into turbomachinery is the
synchronous bearing response to rotor imbalance. This paper presents rotordynamic tests …

Experimentally derived dam** and inertia force coefficients from a test squeeze film
damper for various dynamic load conditions are reported. Shakers exert single frequency …

This dissertation treats a variety of aspects of the lubrication of mechanical components
encountered in aeronautical engines and transmissions. The study covers dual clearance …

Squeeze Film Dampers (SFD) suppress excessive vibrations and rotordynamic instabilities
in turbomachinery. However, air ingestion into the oil film is a pervasive phenomenon that …

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) reduce rotor vibrations and control dynamic instabilities in
turbomachinery. Depending on damper geometry and operating conditions, the kinematics …

End seals in squeeze film dampers (SFDs) aid to increase their dam** capability while
maintaining low lubricant flow rates and reducing the severity of air ingestion. This paper …
