This paper deals with an analysis of the dynamic behavior of compensated hydrostatic circular step thrust bearings taking into account fluid inertia and recess volume fluid compressibility effects. The Reynolds equation for fluid film and the recess flow continuity equations are linearized using perturbation methods. Results in terms of dimensionless load capacity, oil flow rate, stiffness, and damping are presented for capillary and orifice compensated bearings. Results show a marked influence of fluid inertia and recess volume fluid compressibility on the performance of the bearing.

Analytical solutions are not available for spherical bearing problems except for very specialized cases. However, this study offers a theoretical analysis, using the first order perturbations, to evaluate the frequency dependent stiffness and damping characteristics of compensated hydrostatic thrust spherical bearing including the surface roughness, the shaft rotation and the recess volume fluid compressibility effects. The dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients are presented for capillary tube and/or office compensated bearing. Results are obtained for various vibration frequencies or squeeze parameters (frequency parameters) and recess volume fluid compressibility parameters in addition to the other usual bearing design parameters. The study shows that both of the surface roughness and the centripetal inertia have slight effect on the stiffness and the damping coefficients while the recess volume fluid compressibility parameter has the major effect on the bearing dynamic characteristics.

This study has theoretically analyzed the surface roughness, centripetal inertia and recess volume fluid compressibility effects on the dynamic behavior of a restrictor compensated hydrostatic thrust spherical clearance type of bearing. The stochastic Reynolds equation, with centripetal inertia effect, and the recess flow continuity equation with recess volume fluid compressibility effect have been derived to take into account the presence of roughness on the bearing surfaces. On the basis of a small perturbations method, the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients have been evaluated. In addition to the usual bearing design parameters the results for the dynamic stiffness and damping coefficients have been calculated for various frequencies of vibrations or squeeze parameter (frequency parameter) and recess volume fluid compressibility parameter. The study shows that both of the surface roughness and the centripetal inertia have slight effects on the stiffness coefficient and remarkable effects on the damping coefficient while the recess volume fluid compressibility parameter has the major effect on the bearing dynamic characteristics. The cross dynamic stiffness showed the bearing self-aligning property and the ability to oppose whirl movements. The orifice restrictor showed better dynamic performance than that of the capillary tube.

This study utilizes a dynamic mesh technology to investigate the dynamic performance of aerostatic thrust bearings with orifice restrictor, multiple restrictors, and porous restrictor. An experiment, which investigates the bearing static load capacity, was carried out to verify the calculation accuracy of dynamic mesh technology. Further, the impact of incentive amplitude, incentive frequency, axial eccentricity ratio, and non-flatness on the bearing dynamic performance was also studied. The results show incentive amplitude effect can be ignored at the condition of amplitude less than 5% film thickness, while the relationship between dynamic characteristics and incentive frequency presented a strong nonlinear relationship in the whole frequency range. The change law of dynamic stiffness and damping coefficient for porous restrictor was quite different from orifice restrictor and multiple restrictors. The bearing dynamic performance increased significantly with the growth of axial eccentricity ratio, and the surface non-flatness enhanced dynamic performance of aerostatic thrust bearings.

Stiffness And Damping

At higher velocities, the helicopter tail transmission system encounters notable difficulties due to excessive bending vibrations. The shaft damping ring installed on the shaft system was shown to effectively suppress the shaft system vibrations. In this paper, the dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics of polyurethane shaft damping rings were studied using hyperelastic and viscoelastic constitutive models. The constitutive model and the damping ring material parameters were determined using uniaxial tensile and double-shear frequency scanning tests. Based on the test results, the dynamic damping ring characteristics were simulated and verified by dynamic stiffness tests; the influence of structural parameters and operating conditions on the dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics of the damping ring were obtained. The results provide a theoretical basis for the design of shaft systems with reduced sensitivity to vibrations.

Stiffness And Damping

The general dynamic Reynolds equation of sliding-squeezing surfaces with micro-polar fluids is derived for the assessment of dynamic characteristics of bearings with general film thickness. The detailed analysis is presented for the plane inclined slider bearings by using perturbation method. Two Reynolds-type equations corresponding to steady performance and perturbed characteristics are obtained. The closed form solution of these equations is obtained. The numerical computations of the results show that, the micropolar fluids provide an improved characteristics for both steady-state and the dynamic stiffness and damping characteristics. It is found that the maximum steady-load-carrying capacity is function of coupling parameter and is achieved at smaller values of profile parameter for larger values of the coupling parameter.

Stiffness And Damping

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the dynamic structural stiffness and damping characteristics of a 21.6‐cm(8.5in.)-diameter compliant surface foil journal bearing. The goal of this development was to achieve high levels of damping without the use of oil, as is used in squeeze film dampers, while maintaining a nearly constant dynamic stiffness over a range of frequencies and amplitudes of motion. In the experimental work described herein, a full compliant foil bearing was designed, fabricated, and tested. The test facility included a non-rotating journal located inside the bearing. The journal was connected to an electrodynamic shaker so that dynamic forces simulating expected operating conditions could be applied to the structurally compliant bump foil elements. Excitation test frequencies to a maximum of 400Hz at amplitudes of motion between 25.4 and 102μm were applied to the damper assembly. During testing, both compressive preload and unidirectional static loads of up to 1335 and 445N, respectively, were applied to the damper assembly. The experimental data from these tests were analyzed using both a single degree of freedom model and an energy method. These methods of data analysis are reviewed here and results are compared. Excellent agreement in results obtained from the two methods was achieved. Equivalent viscous damping coefficients as high as 1050N.s∕cm(600lbf.s∕in) were obtained at low frequencies. Dynamic stiffness was shown to be fairly constant with frequency.
