  1. 2009 ASME Turbo Expo Conference, June 2009 IDENTIFICATION of SQUEEZE FILM DAMPER FORCE COEFFICIENTS from MULTIPLE-FREQUENCYNON-CIRCULAR JOURNAL MOTIONS Luis San Andrés Mast-Childs Professor Texas A&M University Adolfo Delgado Mechanical Engineer GE Global Research Center ASME GT2009-59175 accepted for journal publication Supported by TAMU Turbomachinery Research Consortium

  2. anti-rotation pin shaft journal ball bearing w lubricant film housing Typical squeeze film damper (SFD) configuration SFD Operation & Design Issues In aircraft gas turbines and compressors, squeeze film dampers aid to attenuate rotor vibrations and to provide mechanical isolation. Too little damping may not be enough to reduce vibrations. Too much damping may lock damper & degrades system rotordynamic performance In a SFD, the journal whirls but does not spin. The lubricant film is squeezed due to rotor motions, and fluid film (damping) forces are generated as a function of the journal velocity.

  3. anti-rotation pin shaft journal ball bearing w lubricant film housing Typical squeeze film damper (SFD) configuration SFD Operation & Design Issues • Damper performancedepends on • Geometry (L, D, c) • Lubricant (density, viscosity) • Supply pressure and through flow • Sealing devices • Operating speed (frequency) • Flow regimes: (laminar, superlaminar, turbulent) • Type of lubricant cavitation: • gaseous or vapor • air ingestion & entrapment

  4. Intershaft Dampers In multi-spool engines, intershaft dampers are located in the interface between rotating shafts Multiple frequency excitation. HP shaft Intershaft dampers are subject to whirl motions resulting from the combined imbalance response of both the LP and the HP shafts. Objective: to investigate the forced performance of SFD for non-circular motions with multi-frequencies LP shaft Schematic view of intershaft [*] [*] Gupta K., and Chatterjee S., 2007, “Dynamics of an Improved Inter Shaft Squeeze Film Damper: Theory and Experiment,” ASME paper No. GT2007-27534.

Frequency spectra

  14. Parameter Identification Case 1 Damping coefficient Predictions (small radial motions about an off-centered position) Predictions (circular centered orbits) Im(Hxx/w) e Damping coefficient [kN.s/m] Damping coefficients bracketed by predictions from full film short length SFD model (open ends) Cross-coupled coefficients negligible (No lubricant cavitation) Amplitude/clearance

  16. Parameter Identification FREQUENCY DOMAIN Case 2 Dynamic stiffness Force Re(Hxx)= Kxx-Mxxw2 Displacement Similar added mass coefficients as in Case 1 Frequency spectra

  17. Parameter Identification FREQUENCY DOMAIN Case 2 Im(Hxx/w) Damping coefficient e For excitation loads (Fx, Fy) out of phase by 90 degree, identified damping coefficients are closer to predictions for circular (centered) motions Damping coefficient [kN.s/m] Case 2: LS & HS out of phase Amplitude/clearance

  18. Excitation Force & Displacement Case 3 Similar to case 2 but with increasing amplitude of excitation load 3 constant motion amplitudes ~20 um, ~40 um, ~ 60 um Case 3: LS & HS out of phase

  19. Damping coefficient Im(Hxx) ~ 60 um e Im(Hxx) ~40 um Damping coefficient [kN.s/m] Im(Hxx) Amplitude/clearance ~20 um Linear (single) damping coefficient Case 3: LS & HS out of phase

  20. SFD force coefficients could be identified for multiple-frequencies when expressed as generic functions of journal position and velocity. The motion with amplitude at main excitation frequency is one that leads to dissipation of mechanical energy. Classical SFD (open ends) model predictions: centered circular orbits and small amplitude motions about off-centered position ENCLOSE the identified damping coeffs. Novel model added mass coefficient correlates well with test data. Classical theory predicts mass coefficients 3 times smaller than test values. Large mass due to effects of inlet and discharge grooves. Conclusions:
