  2. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    Dunkerley's method [1] [2] is used in mechanical engineering to determine the critical speed of a shaft-rotor system. Other methods include the Rayleigh–Ritz method . Whirling of a shaft

  4. 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 ...

  5. Critical embankment velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_embankment_velocity

    For engineering design, improving the critical embankment velocity to a higher value as compared with the operating speed is a conservative way to protect the passengers safety. As the issues related to the critical embankment velocity taking place after the operation of lines for many years, mitigation measures play an imperative role for the ...

  6. Talk:Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Critical_speed

    The two definitions apply to the same concept: the loads simply affect the critical speed, and the vibration is caused by an unbalanced mass.-- Gciriani ( talk ) 17:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC) [ reply ]

  7. Supercritical airfoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_airfoil

    A supercritical aerofoil (supercritical airfoil in American English) is an airfoil designed primarily to delay the onset of wave drag in the transonic speed range. Supercritical airfoils are characterized by their flattened upper surface, highly cambered ("downward-curved") aft section, and larger leading-edge radius compared with NACA 6-series ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffin_corner_(aerodynamics)

    Graph of altitude/speed region envelope for Lockheed U-2 depicting coffin corner. Coffin corner (also known as the aerodynamic ceiling [1] or Q corner) is the region of flight where a fast but subsonic fixed-wing aircraft's stall speed is near the critical Mach number, making it very difficult to keep an airplane in stable flight.

  9. Drag-divergence Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-divergence_Mach_number

    The drag-divergence Mach number (not to be confused with critical Mach number) is the Mach number at which the aerodynamic drag on an airfoil or airframe begins to increase rapidly as the Mach number continues to increase. [1] This increase can cause the drag coefficient to rise to more than ten times its low-speed value.
