2 Squeeze Film Damper (SFDs) Whirling motion from the journal squeezes the lubricant film and generates dynamic pressures that provides viscous damping to decrease rotor vibrations Aid to reduce rotor vibrations, suppress system instabilities, and provide mechanical isolation. Too little damping may not be enough to reduce vibrations. Too much damping may lock damper & will degrade system performance. 2

3 SFD Test Rig Structural stiffness (Rods), K S =1.6 MN/m, O-ring stiffness, K O-ring =0.6 MN/m, K S+O-ring =2.2MN/m Bearing cartridge mass, M BC =15 kg 3

9 OR-SFD damping and mass vs. supply pressure Journal Y θ=90 O-ring Discharge hole (φ=2.0 mm) θ=0 X Bearing Cartridge Feedhole (φ=2.3 mm) c=373 µm, r/c=0.3, ω= Hz P s >2.0 bar, C avg and M avg remain at ~ 11kN-s/m and ~30 kg, respectively. P s <2.0 bar, C avg as P s. 9

10 OR-SFD & PR-SFD C and M vs. supply pressure c=373 µm, r/c=0.3, ω= Hz - Damping C avg for OR-SFD is 11% larger than C avg for PR-SFD. - Added mass M avg ~30 kg as supply pressure decreases. - Damping coefficients C avg as lubricant supply pressure. 10

11 Peak film pressure vs. freq Peak-peak dynamic pressure [bar] PR-SFD r/c=0.3 P s =0.7 bar P s =3.5 bar P s =6.2 bar Air ingestion Peak-peak dynamic pressure [bar] c=373 µm, r/c=0.3 OR-SFD r/c=0.3 P s =0.7 bar P s =3.5 bar P s =6.2 bar Air ingestion Frequency [Hz] Frequency [Hz] For P s =0.7 bar, and whirl freq. > 60 Hz, peak-to-peak dynamic pressure stops growing (due to air ingestion). 11

12 PR-SFD pressure profiles P s =0.7 bar P s =2.1 bar P s =3.5 bar r/c=0.3, ω= 90 Hz Pressure profiles for P s =3.5 and 6.2 bar are almost identical. Spikes in pressure may be due to bursts of leakage thru PR slits. P s =6.2 bar 12

13 OR-SFD pressure profiles P s =0.7 bar P s =2.1 bar r/c=0.3, ω= 90 Hz Pressure profiles for P s =3.5 and 6.2 bar are ~ identical. There are no sharp spikes on pressure. P s =3.5 bar Y θ=90 O-ring θ=0 X P s =6.2 bar P 4 (θ=225 o ) Measured point Discharge hole (φ=2.0 mm) 13

14 Sudden loss of flow Tests conducted with SFD operating (under dynamic load) with amplitude r=0.2c. Pressure supply (flow rate) is set. At time t=0 s, flow (pressure) is cut off. Ensuing motions recorded as squeeze action expels remnant lubricant in film. 14

16 WATERFALLs of motion PR-SFD P s =Q s =0.0 at t >0 P s =3.5 bar, Q s =2.4 LPM PR slit (θ=135 o ) Y θ=90 Feedhole (θ=45 o ) θ=0 X OR-SFD P s =3.5 bar, Q s =4.5 LPM Jump & static offset Y θ=90 Feedhole (φ=2.3 mm) Discharge hole (φ=2.0 mm) θ=0 X O-ring 16

17 Conclusion Both O-ring and piston-ring sealed ends SFDs show similar damping and added mass coefficients. For a large supply pressure (P s ) performance of a sealed ends SFD does not change with an increase in squeeze film velocity (V s =rω). Too low oil feed pressure reduces film pressure and damping. A sudden loss of flow causes immediate changes in performance: (a) For PR-SFD, whirl orbit motion increases in amplitude (w/o bound) to show collapse of element (to touch clearance). (b) For OR-SFD, whirl motion at t=0 jumps (static offset) and later shows growth. O-ring resilience keeps motions bounded 17
