Abstract: Experimental values of damping and stiffness were determined for an externally pressurized, inherently compensated, compressible squeeze-film damper up to excitation frequencies of 36,000 cycles/min. ...

Abstract: Experimental data are presented for the unbalance response of a flexible, ball bearing supported rotor to speeds above the third lateral bending critical. Values of squeeze film damping coefficients ...

Abstract: Load capacity, attitude angle, and power loss were determined for 1 1/2-in-dia herringbone grooved journal bearings operating in air to speeds of 60,000 rpm. Results showed that groove-to-ridge-clearance ...

Abstract: A small eccentricity analysis was performed for a bearing having two feeding planes, each of which is assumed to be a line source. Numerical results were obtained for a range of bearing ...

Abstract: Experimental load, stiffness and attitude angle data for a pair of 2 1/2-in-dia, 3 3/4-in-long externally pressurized air journal bearings are compared with two small eccentricity perturbation ...
