Vibrations of an Electrically Assisted Turbocharger Rotor System Supported on Elastic Ring Squeeze Film Damper: Theory and Experiment

Key Points

• Significant reduction in vibrations observed in the rotor system with elastic damping elements.
• The peak vibration amplitude decreased by 30% across test conditions using the squeeze film damper.
• Analysis using both theoretical models and experimental setups provides robust validation of results.
• Encourages further investigations into enhanced damping technologies for turbocharger applications.
