The Development of a Torsional Vibration Computer: A New Technique for Determining the Natural Frequencies of Torsional Oscillations in Multi‐mass In‐line Systems

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a torsional vibration computer for the determination of the natural frequencies of torsional oscillations. Although a five mass system is used as an example of the proposed method the technique can be used with systems having any number of masses. Experimental results showed that the accuracy obtained with the computer was good.
