Novel Design

This paper describes a combined theoretical and experimental investigation of the eight oil film stiffness and damping coefficients for a novel low impedance hydrodynamic bearing. The novel design incorporates a recess in the bearing surface which is connected to a standard commercial gas bag accumulator; this arrangement reduces the oil film dynamic stiffness and leads to improved machine response and stability. A finite difference method was used to solve Reynolds equation and yield the pressure distribution in the bearing oil film. Integration of the pressure profile then enabled the fluid film forces to be evaluated. A perturbation technique was used to determine the dynamic pressure components, and hence to determine the eight oil film stiffness and damping coefficients. Experimental data was obtained from a laboratory test rig in which a test bearing, floating on a rotating shaft, was excited by a multi-frequency force signal. Measurements of the resulting relative movement between bearing and journal enabled the oil film coefficients to be measured. The results of the work show good agreement between theoretical and experimental data, and indicate that the oil film impedance of the novel design is considerably lower than that of a conventional bearing.

Film Stiffness

Stiffness properties of interfacial engineering surfaces are of great importance to the dynamic performance of relevant mechanical systems. Normal contact stiffness and oil film stiffness of line contact problems are studied in this work analytically and numerically. The Hertzian contact theory and the Yang–Sun method are applied to predict the contact stiffness, while the empirical elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film thickness method and the complete numerical EHL model are used to predict the oil film stiffness. The numerical model mainly consists of the Reynolds equation; the film thickness equation, in which the regular surface roughness is taken into consideration; the force balance equation; and the viscosity-pressure equation. The effects of the normal load, rolling speed, regular surface waviness, and starved lubrication level on the oil film stiffness are investigated.

Film Stiffness

An efficient oil film damper known as a porous squeeze film damper (PSFD) was developed for more effective and reliable vibration control of high-speed rotors based on the conventional squeeze film damper (SFD). The outer race of the PSFD is made of permeable sintered porous metal materials. The permeability allows some of the oil to permeate into and seep out of the porous matrix, with remarkable improvement of the squeeze film damping properties. The characteristics of PSFD oil film stiffness and damping coefficients and permeability, and also, the steady-state unbalance response of a simple rigid rotor and flexible Jeffcott’s rotor supported on PSFD and SFD are investigated. A typical experiment is presented. Investigations show that the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the unpressurized SFD system such as bistable jump phenomena and “lockup” at rotor pin-pin critical speeds could be avoided and virtually disappear under much greater unbalance levels with properly designed PSFD system. PSFD has the potential advantage of operating effectively under relatively large unbalance conditions.
