Effect of G-type integral squeeze film damper on the dynamic characteristics in rotor system

Abstract

Abstract To solve the problems of the nonlinear damping force in the traditional squeeze film damper (SFD), a novel structure of G-type integral squeeze film damper (GISFD) based on ISFD is proposed for the first time. The finite element model and test rig of the ball bearing-rotor system are established to explore the influence of GISFD and ISFD on the dynamic characteristics of the unbalanced rotor system. The results show that both GISFD and ISFD can change the critical speed of the rotor system, reduce the bending strain energy of the shaft, and reduce the bearing dynamic load of the rotor system. Through comparison, it is found that the effect of GISFD is more obvious. The experimental results show that, compared with the unbalanced rotor system without damper, the peak-peak value of amplitude in the rotor system with GISFD and ISFD at 3000 rpm is reduced by 25.53 and 15.81%. The amplitude in the disk at the first-order critical speed is effectively reduced, and the reduction range reach 52.01 and 35.44%, respectively. GISFD has a more significant effect of suppressing unbalanced vibration, and has superior vibration damping performance when compared with ISFD.
