A model has been developed to compute the dynamic stiffness and damping properties of externally pressurized, porous-wall, gas journal bearings which includes the effects of journal rotation and eccentricity. This paper presents the derivation of the governing equations and the perturbation analysis used to find the unsteady characteristics. Typical nondimensional performance curves are found and the influences of seven governing parameters are discussed. A companion paper describes an experimental investigation of porous journal bearings.

Abstract Due to an increased flexibility of modern mechanical and structural systems, effective vibration control becomes essential to their high-precision operations. In this paper, dynamics and vibration control of a rotating multi-link are studied. Passive vibration control of the link with distributed viscoelastic layers is studied. Effectiveness of the distributed viscoelastic dampers with various stiffness and damping properties is investigated.

Piezoelectric materials allow for the manipulation of stiffness and damping properties of host structures by the application of electrical shunting networks. The use of piezoelectric patches for broadband control of vibration using a negative impedance shunt has been shown to be an effective active control solution. The wave-tuning and minimization of reactive input power shunt selection methodologies require the use a negative capacitance. This paper shows that the two theories are comparative and obtain the same shunt parameters. The results of the theoretical shunt selection and simulation are compared to experimental results of tip vibration suppression, spatial average vibration, and reactive input power minimization.

A magnetorheological fluid (MRF) mount featuring unidirectional squeeze mode for vehicle engine mounting system is proposed and designed to attenuate the engine vibration with characteristics of broadband and small amplitude. The MRF mount is comprised of upper and lower bases for installation, a main rubber for static load, a bobbin for electromagnetic coil winding and a squeeze plate. The bottom surface of the bobbin and the top surface of the squeeze plate form the polar plates, between which the MRF is squeezed during the rebound of the MRF mount. Combining dynamic stiffness property of passive hydraulic mounts without fluid and adjustable damping force of MRF at squeeze mode, the MRF mount could provide a unique variable dynamic stiffness and damping properties, by adjusting the exciting current. To evaluate the performance of the MRF mount, a mathematical model considering the behavior of MRF at squeeze mode is derived to theoretically analyze and numerically simulate the dynamic stiffness and equivalent damping properties of the MRF mount. Further, the MRF mount based quarter vehicle mounting system model considering suspension system is constructed to analyze the force transmissibility of engine mounting system in frequency domain and simulate the relative displacement response in time domain.

Tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs) dominate as rotor supports in high-speed rotating machinery. The paper analyzes frequency effects on the TPJB’s stiffness and damping characteristics based on experimental and theoretical investigations. The experimental investigation has been carried out on a five pad tilting-pad journal bearing of 98mm in diameter. Time domain and multifrequency excitation has been used to evaluate the dynamic coefficients. The calculated results have been obtained from a three-dimensional computer model of TPJB, which accounts for thermal effects, turbulent oil flow, and elastic effects, including that of pad flexibility. The analyzes of the TPJB’s stiffness and damping properties showed that the frequency effects on the bearing dynamic properties depend on the operating conditions and bearing design. It has been concluded that the pad inertia and pivot flexibility are behind the variations of the stiffness and damping properties with frequency of excitation.
