Masters Theses

Abstract

"The object of this thesis is to demonstrate, by use of an IBM-1620 digital computer, a fast efficient method for locating natural frequencies of multi-mass rotational systems. Stress and deflection characteristics are examined at these frequencies also.

The shafts considered in this thesis are simply supported and symmetrically loaded with five concentrated masses. These five masses are placed at increments of 10 inches on a 60 inch shaft. The variable to be examined is shaft diameter, which is varied from 0.2 inch to 1 inch by increments of 0.2 inch. The effect of shaft weight, which is a function of shaft diameter, is examined and a definite pattern is obtained for critical speeds"--Abstract, page ii.
