Squeeze film damper (SFD) effectively reduces rotor motion amplitude while crossing critical
speeds for vibration and noise reduction in a wide application of aero-engine rotor system …

The spline coupling is widely used in high-speed rotor systems. As the lack of good
understanding of the instability and influence behaviors, the spline induced instability is still …

Blade loss leads to excessive unbalanced vibrations of the rotor system in the gas generator
of an aero-turboshaft engine. A squeeze film damper (SFD) cannot meet vibration control …

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 …

The journal-bearing system is crucial for the reliability of refrigerant compressors that
operate under high-ambient-pressure environments. The pressure changes rapidly, which …

As oil fields deplete, in particular in deep sea reservoirs, pump and compression systems
work under more strenuous conditions with gas in liquid and liquid in gas mixtures, mostly …

In this paper, it is shown how vaporous cavitation in lubricant films can be modeled in a
physically justified manner through the constitutive (compressibility) relation of the fluid. The …

To improve the performance and expand the application range of gas-lubricated bearings to
mainstream high-power devices, load capacity and dam** characteristics are the key …

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 …

The dam** capability of squeeze film dampers (SFDs) relies on adequate end sealing to
prevent air ingestion and entrapment. The paper presents the parameter identification …
