Abstract

The performance and reliability of an aviation engine, as a core component of an aircraft, is of paramount importance to flight safety. Scholars worldwide have contributed to the design and research of aviation engines, and these advancements and contributions embody the relentless efforts and innovative spirit of scholars and engineers in the field of aviation engine design research. In recent studies, researchers have proposed various vibration control methods to address friction issues in aviation engines, offering corresponding control strategies for the aspects of materials, lubrication, and structural design. However, how to reduce the loss of service life and the safety risks caused by friction in aircraft engines has become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed in the aviation sector. This paper briefly analyzes the current development status regarding vibration and friction reduction in aircraft engines, explores key technologies and research progress in addressing this challenge, and provides insights and prospects for future developments. With advancements in technology, research into vibration and friction in aviation engines will continue to deepen, providing strong support for the development of the aviation industry.

Keywords: aero-engine; frictional force; overview; vibrational friction.
