Abstract
Abstract
The current study is a semi-analytical analysis of the vibratory behaviour of a rigid vertical rotor, supported by a new hydrostatic squeeze film damper (HSFD), consisting of four hydrostatic pads fed through four single-action membrane-type variable-flow restrictors. The Reynolds equation based on the Newtonian theory of lubrication is used and then adapted to our work, which is solved semi-analytically. In this paper, we study the effect of different parameters, the eccentricity, membrane geometry coefficient, pressure ratio and rotational speed, on the main characteristics of a four-pad HSFD. From the simulation results, we observed that at the critical speed, the rigid rotor fed by membrane restrictor shows a decrease in transmitted forces, a decrease in vibration response and good system stability as compared with a similar rotor fed by capillary restrictor. From the results reported in this work, we observed good agreement between our study and other works.
