Abstract: The authors describe an integrated approach to the modelling and active control of lateral vibrations in turbomachinery. Starting with consideration of the control of multiple rotor bending modes, ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors describe an experimental study to identify the damping laws associated with a squeeze-film vibration damper. This is achieved by using a nonlinear filtering algorithm ...

Abstract: Electro-stress and electron-hydraulic time delay are investigated in shear mode tests on ERF (electro-rheological fluid). These parameters are examined using a concentric, Couette clutch operating ...
