  2. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    When an element of mass is offset from the axis of rotation, centrifugal force will tend to pull the mass outward. The elastic properties of the shaft will act to restore the “straightness”. If the frequency of rotation is equal to one of the resonant frequencies of the shaft, whirling will occur. In order to save the machine from failure ...

  3. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    Both calculate an approximation of the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is discussed here. For a shaft that is divided into n segments, the first natural frequency for a given beam, in rad/s , can be approximated as:

  4. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...

  5. Sommerfeld number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sommerfeld_number

    S is the Sommerfeld Number or bearing characteristic number r is the shaft radius c is the radial clearance μ is the absolute viscosity of the lubricant N is the speed of the rotating shaft in rev/s P is the load per unit of projected bearing area. The second part of the equation is seen to be the Hersey number.

  6. Bearing surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_surface

    On a screw, the bearing area loosely refers to the underside of the head. [1] Strictly speaking, the bearing area refers to the area of the screw head that directly bears on the part being fastened. [2] For a cylindrical bearing, it is the projected area perpendicular to the applied force. [3]

  7. Run-out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-out

    Axial run-out causes the tip of the tool or shaft to rotate off-centre relative to the base. Axial run-out will vary according to how far from the base it is measured. In addition, irregular run-out is the result of worn or rough bearings which can manifest itself as either axial or radial run-out.

  8. Campbell diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_diagram

    Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to safely ignore it. Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed. This ...

  9. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    The critical speed of a rotating machine occurs when the rotational speed matches its natural frequency. The lowest speed at which the natural frequency is first encountered is called the first critical speed, but as the speed increases, additional critical speeds are seen which are the multiples of the natural frequency.
