Extract

It is Sometimes required to find the maximum amplitudes of vibration attained and the speeds at which they occur when a machine is run through its critical speed with different accelerations. The solution of this problem for single degree of freedom systems has been obtained by Lewis and by Ellington and McCallion for mechanical vibrations and by Hok for the equivalent electrical case. These solutions require higher mathematics (contour integration, Fresnel's integrals or series solutions leading to Bessel functions). The purpose of this note is to show how, by using simple integration only, an alternative method of solution can be obtained for both zero and small values of damping.
