AI Thread Summary
A Campbell diagram is a graphical representation that plots the vibration characteristics of a structure against excitation frequencies, illustrating potential resonance points. It typically shows how natural frequencies of different modes vary with shaft RPM, with intersection points indicating where resonance may occur. The discussion highlights that while simple rotor examples may display recognizable curve patterns, more complex systems like turbine wheels can result in complicated intersections that offer less clarity. Additionally, there is a query regarding the use of Campbell diagrams to determine the number of engine cylinders based on intake orifice noise. Understanding these diagrams is crucial for analyzing vibration behavior in mechanical systems.

Please again a fundamental question.

Can anyone explain what is a Campbell diagram and its application?

IS it a plot/comparison between exciting frequencies and natural frequencies mainly illustrating when responance will occur?

Please help and elaborate above

Yes, I have and I understand that:

“Campbell diagram is a plot of the vibration characteristics of the structure compared with the excitation frequencies”

However, I have been reading the attached extract and was not able to interprate the diagram with respect to it. It (the attached extract) might not require any background. will be grateful if helped.

The diagrams in the wiki link have curves showing how the frequency of the different modes varies with the shaft RPM, and the intersection points where the "rotation speed" line crosses the curves.

Your diagram doesn't show the curves, it just shows the intersection points with the speed line.

For a simple rotor (like the Wiki example) you can recognise the shapes of the curves as forwards and reverse whirl modes of the rotor. For a turbine wheel like your example, there isn't usually any obvious "pattern" to the curves and they can intersect each other, so plotting all the curves just makes the diagram look more complicated without adding any useful information.
 
Hi Guys,I have some doubts about how can we find number of engine cylinder with the help of campbell diagram of the intake orifice noise?
can anyone please help me
 
actullay my question is in the attached file

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
