Abstract: The computation of the unbalance vibration response of aero-engine assemblies fitted with nonlinear bearings requires the retention of a very large number of modes for reliable results. This ...

Abstract: The integration of squeeze-film dampers (SFDs) in aero-engine assemblies is a highly cost-effective means of introducing damping in an otherwise lightly damped structure. However, their deployment ...

Abstract: In this paper, the nonlinear interaction between an eccentric squeeze film damper and an unbalanced flexible rotor is investigated, paying particular attention to the effect of cavitation in the ...
