 CRITICAL SPEED

NATURAL FREQUENCY

IT IS A FREQUENCY AT WHICH A MACHINE PREFERS TO VIBRATE

 
 DRIVING FREQUENCY:
 
IT IS THE FREQUENCY OF A FORCED VIBRATION.

RESONANCE FREQUENCY:
 
COINCIDENCE OF NATURAL FREQUENCY AND THE DRIVING FREQUENCY
 
CRITICAL SPEED:
 
IT IS A SPECIAL CASE OF RESONANCE FREQUENCY THAT OCCURS WHEN
THE ROTATIONAL SPEED (RPM) OF A MACHINE, WHICH IS THE DRIVING
FREQUENCY, COINCIDES WITH A NATURAL FREQUENCY OF A MACHINE.
