Whirling of Shaft
Aim of Experiment :- Whirling of shafis- To evaluate and compare the theoretical and
experimental value of whirling of shaft
Tools Used =
Shafi of different diameter, Tachometer of for measuring Angular speed.
Theory
It the speed of any unloaded shaft is gradually increased, then it will be
observed at a certain speed, the deflection of shaft becomes very large. The shaft
deflects into a single Bon and whirls like a taut skipping rope. If this speed is
maintained the very large deflection will result in fracture in shaft However, if this
speed is instanionsly run through,. The shaft will again become at most straight
However, at some other speed the same phenomenon will be observed with the
difference that at this speed. The shaft will whirl in two bows. The speed or speed at
which the deflection of the shaft become very are known as whirling or critical speed.
