Analysis and Simulation of Mechanical Trains Driven by Variable Frequency Drive Systems
(2012-02-14)Induction motors and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are widely used in industry to drive machinery trains. However, some mechanical trains driven by VFD-motor systems have encountered torsional vibration problems. This ... -
Analysis of eccentric annular pressure seals : a new solution procedure for determing reactive force and rotordynamic coefficients
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)A new analysis procedure which solves for leakage, reactive force, and rotordynamic coefficients of eccentric annular liquid and gas pressure seals is presented in this dissertation. This analysis procedure is based on a ... -
Analysis of Force Coefficients and Dynamic Pressures for Short-Length (L/D=0.2) Open-Ends Squeeze Film Dampers
(2015-12-09)Gas turbine engine manufacturers push for increasingly simpler squeeze film damper (SFD) designs that can still provide necessary damping to suppress rotor vibrations and offer stability to rotor-bearing systems. The work ... -
Analytical and experimental evaluation of the leakage and stiffness characteristics of high pressure pocket damper seals
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This thesis presents numerical predictions for the leakage and direct stiffness coefficients of pocket damper seals. Modifications made to earlier flow-prediction models are discussed. Leakage and static pressure measurements ... -
CFD Based Prediction of Rotordynamic Coefficients and Stability Analysis for Centrifugal Pump/Compressor
