This paper describes the proportional integral (PI) control of hybrid squeeze film dampers (HSFDS) for active control of rotor vibrations. Recently it was shown that the automatically controlled HSFD based on feedback of rotor speed can be a very efficient device for active control of rotor vibration when passing through critical speeds. Although considerable effort has been put into the study of steady-state vibration control, there are few methods in the literature applicable to transient vibration control of rotor-bearing systems. Rotating machinery may experience dangerously high dynamic loading due to the sudden mass unbalance that could be associated with blade loss. Transient run-up and coast down through critical speeds when starting up or shutting down rotating machinery induces excessive bearing loads at criticals. In this paper, PI control is proposed as a regulator for the HSFD system to attenuate transient vibration for both sudden unbalance and transient runup through critical speeds. A complete mathematical model of this closed-loop system is simulated on a digital computer. Results show an overall enhanced behavior for the closed-loop rotor system. Gain scheduling of both the integral gain and the reference input is incorporated into the closed-loop system with the PI regulator and results in an enhanced behavior of the controlled system.

The Hybrid Squeeze Film Damper (HSFD) has proven itself to be an effective controlling device of vibration in rotating machinery. The critical stage in the development of the HSFD as an active vibration suppressant, is the development of the control algorithms for active control of rotor vibrations. This paper summarizes, evaluates and compares the control algorithms for HSFD supported rotors. Quantitative as well as qualitative measures of the effectiveness of the control algorithms are presented. The study includes the PID-type controllers, LQR, gain scheduling, adaptive and bang-bang controllers. The adaptive, gain scheduling and nonlinear proportional controllers, have proved to be quite effective in the active control of HSFD supported rotors, with impressive results.

A Hydraulic actuator was designed and is described herein. This actuator consists of: a pump which generates the nominal pressure, a hydraulic servo-valve, and a thin elastic plate which transduces the generated pressure variations into forces acting on a mass which simulates the bearing of a rotor system. An actuator characteristic number is defined to provide a base for an optimum design of force actuators with combined weight, frequency, and force considerations. This characteristic number may also be used to compare hydraulic and electromagnetic force actuators. In tests this actuator generated 182.3 Newton force at a frequency of 100. Hz. and a displacement amplitude of 5.8×10−5 meter.
