Squeeze film dampers have traditionally been used in aircraft engine to overcome stability and vibration problems that are not adequately handled with conventional style bearings. One of the key design features in a squeeze film damper [1] configuration is the introduction of flexibility in the bearing support. The simplest means to provide the support flexibility in the squeeze film damper is through the use of squirrel cage [2]. This paper deals with structural design analysis of cylindrical squirrel cage of an aircraft engine. Design of the squirrel cage needs a balance between stiffness and strength requirements. To meet the strength, stiffness and fatigue life requirements, squirrel cage web dimensions and fillet radius are modified. The various configurations of the squirrel cage have been evaluated to arrive at the optimum design. Stress analysis of the bearing has been carried out for axial, radial unbalance loads. Stress distribution in the web region has been studied in detail. High cycle fatigue life margins are estimated using Goodman diagram. The squirrel cage web dimensions and fillet radius are modified to improve HCF life requirements. The operating stresses in the squirrel cage are reduced while meeting the stiffness and HCF life requirements of the component.

Tensile and high cycle fatigue (HCF) property for TiC particle reinforced titanium matrix composite has been studied in this paper. The results indicated that the composite possessed favorite comprehensive properties. The tensile properties for the composite are superior to that of the common high temperature titanium alloys, e.g. IMI834, Ti-1100. Smooth axial fatigue tests were taken at a frequency of 76Hz with a load ratio R of 0.06 and –1, respectively. And HCF strength for the composite at ambient temperature is 595MPa and 494MPa, respectively.

It is well-known that the high-cycle fatigue (HCF) performance of severe plastically deformed wrought magnesium alloys is not as good as one might expect from the significant grain size refinement. Although enhanced HCF strength after ECAP as compared to as-cast material was observed its value was significantly lower than after conventional extruding. The present investigation was undertaken to determine whether the relatively poor HCF strength of the ECAP processed wrought magnesium alloy AZ80 is associated with the ECAP-induced unfavorable crystallographic textures. Post-ECAP thermo-mechanical treatment (TMT) was found to result in favorable texture modifications as well as in markedly improved HCF performance. The proposed novel technique consists of a not yet used combination of severe plastic deformation via ECAP followed by a 1-step swaging process. It is shown that the resulting combination of both ultrafinegrain sized material and beneficial crystallographic texture results in superior HCF performance not achievable by ECAP-processing alone.
