Abstract: A bearing assembly is provided. The bearing assembly includes an inner race configured to couple to a shaft, an outer race disposed around the inner race, and a housing disposed around the outer race. The housing and the outer race define an annulus and a buffer region, and the buffer region defines an axial boundary of the annulus.

Abstract: A squeeze film damper includes a static member and a whirling member positioned adjacent to the static member. A gap is formed between the static member and the whirling member. A pressurized oil reservoir is formed in the gap between the static member and the whirling member. A first low pressure oil reservoir is formed in a first cavity in the whirling member, wherein the first low pressure oil reservoir is positioned on a first end of the pressurized oil reservoir. A second low pressure oil reservoir is formed in a second cavity in the whirling member, wherein the second low pressure oil reservoir is positioned on a second end of the pressurized oil reservoir. A first primary seal is positioned between the first end of the pressurized oil reservoir and the first low pressure oil reservoir, and a second primary seal is positioned between the second end of the pressurized oil reservoir and the second low pressure oil reservoir.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a fan section that has a fan with a plurality of airfoils, a compressor section, a gear train that reduces a rotational speed of the fan relative to a shaft in operation, a turbine section that has a first turbine and a second turbine, and a bypass ratio of greater than 10. The first turbine drives the shaft. A nacelle extends along an engine axis and surrounds the fan. A variable area fan nozzle defines a discharge airflow area. A fan airfoil flutter sensing system has a first sensor that actively and selectively detects a fan airfoil flutter condition in operation, and communicates with a controller programmed to move the variable area fan nozzle and vary the discharge airflow area to mitigate the flutter condition.

Abstract: A damping treatment is applied to the ligaments of a squirrel cage type bearing support. The damping treatment reduces the vibrations transmitted to the engine casing as the engine passes through various resonance frequencies of the various parts of the gas turbine engine. A squeeze-film damper damps engine vibrations, but the oil in the squeeze-film damper can act as a stiffener during certain operational ranges, which increases the transmission of vibrations to the engine structure. Applying a damping treatment to the ligaments of the squirrel cage provides effective vibration damping.

Abstract: A bearing assembly for an engine is disclosed. The bearing assembly includes a first structure, a second structure that is movable relative to the first structure, and a foil membrane disposed between the first structure and the second structure. The foil membrane includes at least one perforation that supplies liquid fuel in a region between the foil membrane and the second structure, where the liquid fuel is combusted by the engine.
