Abstract: A simple procedure, with the potential as a field resource, for identification of a bearing support parameter from recorded transient rotor responses due to impact loads follows. The method is ...

Abstract: This paper describes a procedure suitable for field implementation that allows identification of synchronous bearing support parameters (force coefficients) from recorded rotor responses to imbalance. ...

Abstract: Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) aid to attenuate vibrations in compressors and turbines while traversing critical speeds. In actual applications, gas ingestion from the environment may lead to the ...
