Abstract: This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical investigation of the dynamic forces generated by a squeeze film bearing damper constrained to move in circular centered orbits. ...

Abstract: This paper describes an analytical technique to calculate the damped critical speeds and the instability threshold speed of multimass rotor-bearing systems. Necessary equations are developed to ...

Abstract: A basic research program was conducted to investigate the hydrodynamic forces of a squeeze film bearing damper. These forces were induced by controlled offset circular whirl orbits of the damper ...

Abstract: The results of an analytical and experimental investigation showing the existence of an intershaft viscous damper instability were presented in reference [1]. In the present investigation, a more ...
