20230043298 · 2023-02-09 ·

An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine assembly includes a static structure, a conduit and a bracket. The static structure includes a port. The conduit extends longitudinally through the port. The bracket couples the conduit to the static structure. The bracket includes a first base mount, a second bade mount, a conduit mount, a first damper and a second damper. The first base mount is attached to the static structure. The second base mount is attached to the static structure. The conduit mount is mechanically coupled with the conduit. The first damper is between the first base mount and the conduit mount. The second damper is between the second base mount and the conduit mount.

SUPRESSING VIBRATIONS OF SHAFTS USING ADJUSTABLE BEARINGS
20180003075 · 2018-01-04 ·

A bearing configured to actively damp vibration of a shaft in a turbine. In one implementation, the bearing can include actuating members that move in a manner that changes properties of fluid, typically a thin film of lubricant, disposed in the bearing to facilitate rotation of the shaft. These changes effectively manipulate the stiffness and damping of the thin film according to a time periodicity that matches a parametric anti-resonance of the bearing. In turn, the resulting interaction of vibrating modes is favorable to damp vibration amplitudes at critical speeds.
