Popis: The following paper focuses on the dynamic behavior of hermetic squeeze film dampers (HSFD) that utilize fluid-bounding flexible members as a part of the support structure. More specifically, the current paper advances an engineering design modification to the existing HSFD concept, which is aimed at rendering the dynamic force coefficients frequency independent. The paper builds on past HSFD testing and modeling approaches to develop higher fidelity analytical models, which are used to investigate different damper configurations while taking keen interest in the frequency dependency of force coefficients. The analytical study leverages commercially available finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to conduct several fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) simulations of various damper architectures. In addition to the FSI analysis a more computationally efficient reduced order model (ROM) was developed, coupling structural flexibility with the fluid dynamics in the damper. Ultimately, these design tools were used to identify critical design features and configurations needed for constant linear frequency independent force coefficients. The results show a damper configuration with minimal frequency dependency of the stiffness and damping coefficients when incorporating pass through channels in combination with accumulator volumes. The paper also uses the improved design approach of the HSFD to put forth a notional integrated bearing design incorporating the new HSFD concept.
