Abstract: An experimental test program was conducted to extend the verified operating region of the Influence Coefficient Method’s Exact Point-Speed procedure for balancing of flexible rotating machinery. ...

Abstract: A bearing damper, operating on the support flexure of a pivoted pad in a tilting-pad type gas-lubricated journal bearing, has been designed, built, and tested under externally applied random ...

Abstract: Experimental tests have been conducted to further demonstrate the ability of the Influence Coefficient Method to achieve precise balance of flexible rotors of virtually any design for operation ...

Abstract: A test program was conducted to confirm experimentally the validity of the exact point-speed influence coefficient method for balancing rotating machinery, and to assess the practical aspects of ...

Abstract: A high-speed turbogenerator employing gas-lubricated hydrodynamic journal and thrust bearings was subjected to external random vibrations for the purpose of assessing bearing performance in a dynamic ...
