Abstract:
An assembly for use in a bearing compartment having an axis includes a bearing outer race configured to be located in the bearing compartment. The assembly further includes at least one annular spring positioned in the bearing outer race and being asymmetric in at least one of the axial direction or the circumferential direction relative to the axis to reduce the likelihood of amplification of vibration experienced by the at least one annular spring.
