Critical speeds of a rotating system with flexible, damped supports.
Abstract
Ar experimental and theoretical analysis of a rotating system with
flexibly supported, viscously damped bearings is described. The. theoretical
development is ba«ed on the differential equations of motion of
the mass of the rotor and the two shaft bearings. Tests were conducted
and compared with calculated response of the system. Results indicate
fair agreement The discrepancies are attributed to limited accuracy
of test measurements and/or erratic operation of the viscous damping
dashpots.
