A solution scheme for the squeeze film problem using the Newton-Raphson method with a tangential matrix is presented. The integration of elasticity equation is done with the aid of isoparametric elements and the film thickness under a sinusoidal load is obtained. A new squeeze-suction phenomenon which shoㅁvs the possibility oi maintaining fluid film under cyclic positive load conditions is observed for small load and Period and large compliance parameter cases. Thia could be an interesting result in applications like the viscous hydroplaning and the biological joints.

The process of squeeze casting for metal matrix composites (MMCs) has been simulated numerically by using finite difference method. The governing equations to describe fluid flow through porous medium and heat transfer are applied to two dimensional model which is similar to a real system. A computational code has been developed to solve this problem. The influence on infiltration kinetics and solidification time of several parameters is investigated. Cooling curves and temperature distribution with time and position is also shown. The result can be used to design the squeeze casting for MMCs.

This paper presents investigation of damping characteristics of squeeze mode type MR (magneto-Rheological) mount experimentally. Since damping property of the MR fluid is changed by variation of the applied magnetic field strength, squeeze mode type MR mount proposed in the study has variable damping characteristics according to the applied magnetic field strength. Impact and excitation tests were performed to investigate the dynamic properties of squeeze mode type MR mount. Responses of the mount were compared in proportion to the applied magnetic field strength. The experimental results show that the mount can effectively reduce vibration amplitude in a wide frequency range by changing the applied magnetic field strength.

A new type squeeze film damper is proposed and its dynamic characteristics are investigated experimentally. The new one has a pulsating flow supply system which properly adds high pressure oil to the oil film of the damper so that the rotor vibration can be controlled actively. As the result, the amplitude of the rotor vibration can be reduced considerably. The algorithm which compensates the phase lag of servo valve as well as the high-performance servo valve are required in order that a new type squeeze film damper can be more effective device to attenuate the rotor vibration than typical one.

This study aims to investigate on the effects of alloying elements and heat treatment on the microstructures, wear and heat resistance of Al-Si-Cu-Mg-(Ni)/SiCp prepared by the duplex process developed in previous study, which consists of squeeze infiltration (1st process) and squeeze casting (2nd process). The hardness of composite increased with decrease in SiCp size and Ni addition in both the heat exposured composite and the as-cast one. And the heat and wear resisting properties was improved by the SiCp reinforcement and the Ni addition. The wear amount of Al/SiCp composite decreased with decreasing in the size of silicon carbide particle.

This paper addresses the lubrication analysis of a short squeeze film damper operating with electro-rheological (ER) fluids which have large and reversible changes in yield shear stresses with respect to an applied electric field. The ER fluids are assumed to be modeled as Bingham fluids. The governing lubrication equation for the ER short squeeze film damper is developed on the basis of a Bingham fluid model, and the equation is subsequently solved in order to investigate the effects of the ER fluids on the damping capability of the damper. It is shown that a substantial increase in damping (both direct and cross coupled) is accomplished by increasing the yield shear stress of the ER fluids. This significant improvement of the damping capability suggests that the ER short squeeze film damper could be very effective for reducing the vibration and controlling the critical speeds of a rotor system.

A finite element model is developed for the process of squeeze casting of metal matrix composites. The fluid flow and the heat transfer are fundamental phenomena in squeeze casting. The equations for the clear fluid flow and the flow in porous media are used to simulate the transient metal flow. To describe heat transfer in the solidification of molten aluminum, the energy equation is written in terms of temperature and enthalpy. A direct iteration technique is used to solve the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations. The cooling curves and temperature distribution during infiltration and solidification were calculated for a simplified model with pure aluminum. The developed program can be used for squeeze casting process of complex geometry, boundary conditions and processing parameter optimization.

This paper addresses on the determination of damping coefficients of an infinitely long squeeze film damper operating with an electro-rheological (ER) fluid. The ER fluid behaves as Bingham fluid with an electric field dependent yield shear stress. AS phenomenological model of the fluid is adopted for the relationship between the yield shear and the intensity of the electric field imposed on the fluid domain. The model is then incorporated with the governing equation and associated boundary conditions of the squeeze film damper executing a circula centered orbit for the expression of dimension- less damping coefficients. Numerical simulation is performed to evaluate the performance improvement of the proposed squeeze film damper.

Squeeze film dampers(SFDs) are designed and analyzed for radial superconducting bearings. The designed SFDs are mounted on the superconductors submerged in liquid nitrogen such that the dampers should supply additional damping to the relatively underdamped superconducting bearing support. Basic theory of SFD with superconducting bearing are introduced. Rotordynamic simulations are provided to support the feasibility of the superconducting magnetic bearings mounted on SFDs for a horizontal flywheel energy storage system.

The squeeze casting process is considered as an attractive way to form the primary product of near net shape metal matrix composites for wide use in automobile industry. To understand for infiltration limit in squeeze casting processes, the SAFFIL short fiber preform of volume fraction $10%{\sim}23%$ were fabricated by vaccum pumping and speed control press, and the optimal condition for fiber preform fabrication had been experimentally obtained. The composite materials were fabricated by forced infiltration of molten metals such as Al6061, Al7075, pure Al, AC8A, and Al2024. The infiltration distance and deformation of fiber preform are observed, and tensile strength were measured from at the room temperature.
