...Ryan J. Monroe; Steven W. Shaw; Alan H. Haddow; Bruce K. Geist Centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers are used for reducing engine-order torsional vibrations in rotating machines. The most common configuration of these devices utilizes a bifilar suspension in which the absorber mass is suspended...

...Steven W. Shaw; Bruce Geist This paper considers the dynamic response and performance characteristics of a special class of centrifugal pendulum torsional vibration absorbers. The absorbers of interest are designed by selection of the path that their center of mass follows, such that their dynamics...

...Zhu Changsheng The objective of this paper is to experimentally investigate the instability of an over-hung rigid centrifuge rotor partially filled with fluid. Specific emphasis has been placed on the developing process of rotor instability, the dynamical behavior of the rotor system while...
