WHIRLING OF LINE SHAFTING

The long standing problem of whirling due to first order (unbalance) and propeller blade order excitations is discussed. The source of the blade-order harmonic components and the close correlation with alignments and the resulting bearing loadings are traced. The possible damages caused by the phenomenon are illustrated by examples. The problems associated with frequency calculations are outlined and a computer program is described.
