Fl. Chu et R. Holmes, EFFICIENT COMPUTATION ON NONLINEAR RESPONSES OF A ROTATING ASSEMBLY INCORPORATING THE SQUEEZE-FILM DAMPER, Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 164(3-4), 1998, pp. 363-373
Oil film forces of the squeeze-film damper are highly nonlinear functi
ons of the displacement and velocity of the shaft. Three numerical met
hods are introduced to predict the dynamic characteristics of this non
linear system. The fast integration method is very efficient in calcul
ating the transient and steady state responses. The harmonic balance m
ethod can be used to predict steady state responses of both synchronou
s and nonsynchronous (subharmonic and superharmonic) components. The s
imple iteration method is suitable to calculate the circular concentri
c orbits. The method can be chosen according to the practical need. (C
