Damper Component Analysis and Integration with Rotor-Dynamics Program

摘要

Squeeze film dampers are widely used components in modern turbomachinery, but their behavior is not well understood. This program was initiated in order to extend the squeeze film damper analytical basis, confirm predictions by means of a test program, transfer the analytical technology to a gas turbine engine manufacturer, integrate it with existing rotordynamic tools and develop and demonstrate a damper design system.
