Abstract This paper describes an analytical approach for calculating the damped critical speeds of multi-degree-of-freedom rotor-bearing systems. It is shown that to calculate the critical speeds is equivalent to finding the roots of a proposed matrix algebraic equation. The technique employes a Newton-Raphson scheme and the derivatives of eigenvalues. The system left eigenvectors are used to simplify the calculations. Based on this approach, a general-purpose computer program was developed with a finite element model of rotor-bearing systems. The program automatically generates system equations and finds the critical speeds. The program is applied to analyze a turbomachine supported by two cylindrical oil-film Journal bearings. The results are compared with reported data and the agreements are very good.

Tbe AP/C control computer is a specially designed, high speed, serial, binary, general-purpose machine with approximately 2000 words of memory. Although the machine is basically a general-purpose computer, in includes special facilities for communicating with the operator of the AP/C Stereoplotter for inputs from the operator’s handwheels and footwheel, and for outputs to servomechanisms on the AP/C viewing unit and coordinatograph. A complete set of programs for inner, relative and absolute orientations and for plotting operations is provided. In addition, the computer may be used for general-purpose computing when not required for plotting. In speed and versatility it is superior to most medium-size commercial computers.
