Abstract: The problem of obtaining vibratory information from remote, rotating, components within a machine has been overcome by means of a laser-Doppler fiber-optic probe. Laser light is transmitted down ...

Abstract: The ability of an uncentralized squeeze-film damper bearing to inhibit the effects of vibration in a flexible rotor-bearing system, has been assessed in terms of non-dimensional system parameters. ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation has been carried out into the influence of side-plate flow restrictors on the performance of a squeeze film damper bearing. The experimental rig used was a flexible ...

Abstract: Previous investigations have shown that the uncentralized type of squeeze-film damper is an effective means of reducing the transmission of unbalance forces into the supporting structure. In this ...

Abstract: Squeeze film damper performance is usually assessed on the assumption that the axis of the journal is parallel to that of the bearing housing. For many practical cases, for example that of ...
