Abstract: The dynamical behaviors of a flexible rotor supported by two plain cylindrical bearings surrounded by squeeze film damper are investigated. In this study, the Hopf bifurcation theory is used ...

Abstract: Ball bearings are important mechanical components in high-speed turbomachinery that is liable for severe vibration and noise due to the inherent nonlinearity of ball bearings. Using experiments ...

Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear oil film forces of bearings and dampers with free boundary conditions are determined by the finite element method (FEM) and the complementary solution for variational ...
