On the enhanced attractive load capacity of resonant flexural squeeze-film levitators

This paper uses numerical and asymptotic methods to investigate the fluid dynamics underlying the anomalously large attractive forces that were recently observed in squeeze-film levitation systems driven by resonant vibrations of a flexible oscillator. Namely, in a recent experimental study, a thin...
