Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept of an underplatform damper, its applications, and the request for an intuitive explanation of its function, particularly in the context of dynamics and vibrations in engineering, specifically related to jet engines and rotating machinery.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests an explanation of the underplatform damper and its uses.
  • Another participant asks for clarification on the original question, seeking more context about the term "platform" and the specific application the OP is referring to.
  • A participant suggests that the OP may be referring to a specific type of damper used in rotating machinery, providing a link to a related document.
  • The OP indicates a background in structural engineering and expresses a desire for an intuitive understanding of the underplatform damper, rather than a purely mathematical explanation.
  • There is a general request for further assistance in understanding the function of the underplatform damper.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants are seeking clarification and additional information, but there is no consensus on the specific understanding or explanation of the underplatform damper as the discussion remains open-ended.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific definitions of terms and may depend on varying interpretations of "platform" and "underplatform damper." There are also unresolved questions regarding the specific applications and mechanisms of the damper.

Can you expand a bit on your question? Where have you heard about this component? What do you mean by platform? What kind of platform? What do you think an "underplatform damper" would be used for?

I guess the OP means something like
http://web.itu.edu.tr/sanliturk/Publications/GTP00919.pdf

There are many of variations on this basic idea used in rotating machinery like steam turbines, jet engines, etc.
 
Yes, AlephZero- that's exactly what I was talking about.

Reason is, I have done consideerable finite element coding related to dynamics/vibrations -however recently I have been introduced to terminologies/components involving jet engines in general.I'm mainly a structural engineer.

Therefore, was getting into foums/weikepedia and getting a feel of terminologies.

I was looking for someone to explain me this in an intuitive way so that I can expand my thought process than being just mathematical.

Sorry berkeman if question was unclear.

Please can anyone help further - i.e.an intuitive way of undestanding the function of underplatform damper?
 
Please can anyone help?
