Abstract: A comprehensive study is made to examine effects of fluid inertia on pressure distribution, load capacity, wall shear stress differences (defined in Nomenclature), and velocity variation of flow ...

Abstract: A centrally grooved short squeeze film damper (SFD), together with its lubricant supply mechanism (LSM), is analyzed, using an integrated theoretical model. It is shown that the traditional ...

Abstract: Analytical expressions for the hydrodynamic forces, and four related dynamic coefficients, are presented for finite length squeeze film dampers (SFDs) executing combined radial and tangential motion ...
