G. Meng et al., THE INFLUENCE OF FLUID INERTIA FORCES ON THE SUDDEN UNBALANCE RESPONSES OF SQUEEZE-FILM DAMPER SUPPORTED ROTORS, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J, Journal of engineering tribology, 212(J5), 1998, pp. 353-357
The influence of fluid inertia on the sudden unbalance response of a f
lexible rotor supported on centralized and uncentralized squeeze-film
dampers is investigated. Whether the rotor is at constant speed or acc
elerating, it was generally found that fluid inertia shortens the tran
sient process and decreases the transient vibration amplitude. Qualita
tively, the effect of fluid inertia is similar to increased damping.
