This paper considers the steady-state response due to unbalance of a planar rigid rotor carried in a short squeeze film damper with linear centering spring. The damper fluid forces are determined from the short bearing, cavitated (π film) solution of Reynold’s equation. Assuming a circular centered orbit, a change of coordinates yields equations whose steady-state response are constant eccentricity and phase angle. Focusing on this steady-state solution results in reducing the problem to solutions of two simultaneous algebraic equations. A method for finding the closed-form solution is presented. The system is nondimensionalized, yielding response in terms of an unbalance parameter, a damper parameter, and a speed parameter. Several families of eccentricity-speed curves are presented. Additionally, transmissibility and power consumption solutions are present.

The Seismic Electric Effect gives rise to the problem of finding the steady state response of a circuit consisting of an inductance and a response of a circuit consisting of an inductance and a resistance of the form R+A cos cot (R>A) in series with a D.C. input. In this paper a solution is given, other than the one usually obtained by the method of successive approximations.

The steady-state response of a semi-infinite solid with an overlying semi-infinite fluid subjected at the plane interface to a moving point load is determined for supersonic load velocities. The exact, closed-form solution valid for the entire space is presented. Some numerical results for the displacements at the interface are calculated and compared to the results obtained when no fluid is present.

In this paper a Magnetorheological squeeze film damper (MR-SFD) has been modeled using two governing equations. Firstly, considering Bingham model for MR fluid (MRF), a hydrodynamic model has been presented. Secondly, a thermal model for the system has been modeled and used to calculate the temperature rise in the squeeze film and different damper’s components. Time and frequency domain analysis has been performed over a system consists of an unbalanced flexible rotor (FE model) mounted on a pair of MR-SFDs. Results show that the amplitude of rotor’s vibration is not a simple function of electrical current such that, increase in the current cannot guaranty decrease in the value of amplitude. The steady state response of rotor versus rotation velocity is presented for different values of electrical current, which show the effects of temperature and current on the steady state response of rotor.

The stability properties of periodic steady state response of a nonlinear geared rotordynamic system are investigated. The nonlinearity arises because one support of the system includes a cavitated squeeze film damper, while the excitation is caused by mass unbalance. The dynamical model and the procedure which leads to periodic steady state response of the system examined have been developed in an earlier paper. Here, the emphasis is placed on analyzing the stability characteristics of located periodic solutions. Also, within ranges of the excitation frequency where no stable periodic solutions are detected, the long time behavior of the system is investigated by direct integration of the equations of motion. It is shown that large order subharmonic, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions may coexist with unstable periodic response in these frequency ranges. Finally, attention is focused on practical consequences of these motions.

In previous research, the twin rotor damper (TRD), an active mass damper, was presented including control algorithms for monofrequent vibrations. In a preferred mode of operation, the continuous rotation mode, two eccentric masses rotate in opposite directions about two parallel axes with a mostly constant angular velocity. The resulting control force is harmonic. Within this paper, the steady-state response of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator subjected to a harmonic excitation force with and without the TRD is studied. A closed-form solution is presented and validated experimentally. It is shown that the TRD provides damping to the SDOF oscillator until a certain frequency ratio is reached. The provided damping is not only dependent on the design parameters of the TRD but also depends on the steady-state vibration amplitude. The solution serves as a powerful design tool for dimensioning the TRD. The analytical closed-form solution is applicable for other active mass dampers.

The steady-state response of a one-degree-of-freedom double bilinear hysteretic model is investigated and it is shown that this model gives rise to the jump phenomenon which is associated with certain nonlinear systems. The stability of the steady-state solution is discussed and it is shown that the model predicts an unbounded resonance for finite excitation.

Abstract An efficient method for obtaining the steady-state response of linear systems with periodically time varying coefficients is developed. The steady-state solution is obtained by dividing the fundamental period into a number of intervals and establishing, based on a fourth-order Rung-Kutta formulation, the relation between the response at the start and end of the period. Imposition of periodicity condition upon the response facilitates computation of the initial condition that yields the steady-state values in a single pass; i.e. integration over only one period. Through a practical example, the method is shown to be more accurate and computationally more efficient than other known methods for computing the steady-state response.
