Abstract: A review is made of the function of compliant surface bearings in serving the needs of modern turbomachinery. This service extends over a wide spectrum of severe operational and environmental ...

Abstract: The objective of this investigation is to develop a novel powder-lubricated rotor bearing system damper concept for use in high-temperature, high-speed rotating machinery such as advanced aircraft ...

Abstract: In this paper results of rotordynamic response and transient tests of a novel, high load squeeze film damper design are presented. The spiral foil multisqueeze film damper has been previously ...

Abstract: This paper provided the first opportunity to quantify the angular stiffness and equivalent viscous damping coefficients of an axial spline coupling used in highspeed turbomachinery. The bending ...

Abstract: Recent technological advancements make hybridization of the magnetic and foil bearings both possible and extremely attractive. Operation of the foil/magnetic bearing takes advantage of the strengths ...

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 ...
