Abstract: The implementation of finite element simulations for the study of rotor dynamic systems has been the subject of recent publications. Since the finite element offers obvious modeling advantages, ...

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of constant axial torque on the dynamics of rotorbearing systems using a finite element model. The finite element equation of motion is formulated using the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation intended to observe cavitation in squeeze-film bearing dampers representative of those commonly found in aircraft gas turbine ...
