The Effects of Fluid Inertia Forces in Squeeze Film Bearings Lubricated with Pseudo-plastic Fluids : 2nd Report, Annular Pavallel Plates Squeeze Film Bearings

Magnetic fluid based squeeze film between porous elliptical plates

Archibald [1] analyzed the performance of a squeeze film between various geometrical configurations. Later on Wu [2, 3] investigated a squeeze film behavior for mainly, two types of geometries namely, annular and rectangular. Prakash and Viz [4] developed some aspects of the analysis incorporated in Wu [2, 3] and obtained the load carrying capacity ultimately leading to time height relation for...

Dynamic Analysis of a Rotor Supported on Ball Bearings with Waviness and Centralizing Springs and Squeeze Film Dampers

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) are often used in machines with high rotational speed to reduce non-periodic behavior by creating external damping. There are some structural parameters which are of great importance in designing these systems, such as oil film thickness and inner race mass of SFD. Moreover, there is a crucial parameter associated with manufacturing process, under the title of wavine...

Evaluation of Squeeze-film Damping Effects in MEMS Perforated Plates

In this paper, analytical and numerical methods for simulating squeeze-film air damping affecting suspended and perforated movable micro-surfaces are analyzed. Numerical solutions are obtained by full 3-D Navier-Stokes numerical analysis, carried out by a commercial finite element code, COMSOL Multiphysics, and are compared with those obtained using different analytical models proposed in liter...

Squeeze-film effects in MEMS devices with perforated plates for small amplitude vibration

Squeeze-film effects of perforated plates for small amplitude vibration are analyzed through modified Reynolds equation (MRE). The analytical analysis reckons in most important influential factors: compressibility of the air, border effects, and the resistance caused by vertical air flow passing through perforated holes. It is found that consideration of air compressibility is necessary for hig...
