Dynamic Analyses of the Flexibly-Mounted Rotor, and the Flexibly-Mounted Stator and Rotor Mechanical Face Seals

机械端面密封用于许多工业应用，如涡轮泵，火箭发动机和化学加工设备，以防止旋转设备中的流体损失。这些密封的非接触操作是通过允许密封流体在配合表面之间渗透以提供润滑来实现的。该研究的目的是研究端面密封的动态特性，为性能预测提供计算机模型。该项目是一个理论与实验相结合的项目。一旦理论模型被实验验证，计算机模型将被开发出来。这项研究和开发将推动密封设计知识的发展。

Mechanical face seals are used in many industrial applications such as turbopumps, rocket engines, and chemical processing equipments to protect against loss of fluids in rotating equipment. The non-contact operation in these seals is achieved by permitting the sealed fluid to penetrate between the mating surfaces to provide means of lubrication. The purpose of the proposed investigation is to study the dynamic characteristics of face seals to provide a computer model for performance prediction. The project is a combined theoretical and experimental program. Once the theoretical model is verified by experiments, a computer model will be developed. This research and development will advance the state of knowledge in seal design.
