Rotordynamics of Small Turbochargers Supported on Floating Ring Bearings—Highlights in Bearing Analysis and Experimental Validation

Turbochargers (TCs) improve performance in internal combustion engines. Due to low production costs, TC assemblies are supported on floating ring bearings (FRBs). TCs show subsynchronous motions of significant amplitudes over a wide speed range. However, the subsynchronous whirl motions generally re... View More
