Extract

An Adoption of matrix techniques is proposed as a method for the solution of torsional natural frequencies in a branch or geared shaft system. Both fundamental and higher mode shapes and frequencies are produced by a comparatively rapid and straightforward technique. The method is illustrated by a numerical example of a coupled turbine and reciprocating engine system driving a common propeller.
