SUMMARY
A Campbell diagram is a graphical representation that plots the vibration characteristics of a structure against excitation frequencies, illustrating resonance occurrences. It specifically shows how the frequency of different modes varies with shaft RPM, highlighting intersection points where the rotation speed line crosses these curves. In the context of turbine wheels, the curves may not exhibit a clear pattern, complicating the diagram without providing additional insights. Understanding these diagrams is essential for analyzing vibration behavior in mechanical systems.
