Summary

By a slight modification to den Hartog’s classical theory of harmonically forced vibration off resonance it is shown that, with such distorted forcing wave forms as might be encountered in the stalling or choking flutter of an aerofoil in cascade, the influence of damping on the amplitude of motion can still be assessed with considerable accuracy by the assumption of an equivalent harmonic excitation. The result is valid for any amount of Coulomb damping at which motion is significant in the presence of any “ velocity ” damping coefficient up to that defined by a logarithmic decrement of about 1-3, the formal conclusion of the argument being stated in Section 4.
