| Abstract | ||||
| This paper deals with the steady-state response of a single disc flexible. rotor supported on two uncentralized squeeze-film damper bearings and sub-jected to varying degrees of unbalance. The measured responseil-on an exp-erimental rotor operating to speeds exceeding its first bending critical show that the uncentralized squeeze-film damper bearing has a very desira-ble effect under the abusive conditions of large unbalance. The unbalance level was increased by a factor of three in some tests and yet the corresponding vibrational amplitude of the disc, at the first bending critical speed, was increased by less than 30 %. The results predicted : from a computer simulation study, where the equations of motion are in-tegrated forward in time until steady-state orbits are reached and aut-omatically plotted, show good qualitative agreement with the experimental results. | ||||
