The Rayleigh–Ritz method is often used in mechanical engineering for finding the approximate real resonant frequencies of multi degree of freedom systems, such as spring mass systems or flywheels on a shaft with varying cross section. It is an extension of Rayleigh's method.
There are two main methods used to calculate critical speed—the Rayleigh–Ritz method and Dunkerley's method. Both calculate an approximation of the first natural frequency of vibration, which is assumed to be nearly equal to the critical speed of rotation. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is discussed here.
The Sturm–Liouville differential equation with boundary conditions may be solved analytically, which can be exact or provide an approximation, by the Rayleigh–Ritz method, or by the matrix-variational method of Gerck et al. [1] [2] [3] Numerically, a variety of methods are also available.
However, many of the analytical models of coupled continuous subdomains do not have closed-form solutions, which led to discretization and approximation techniques such as the Ritz method [1] (which is sometimes called the Rayleigh-Ritz method due to the similarity between Ritz's formulation and the Rayleigh ratio) the boundary element method ...
In 1909 Ritz developed a direct method to find an approximate solution for boundary value problems. It converts the often insoluble differential equation into the solution of a matrix equation. It is a theoretical preparatory work for the finite element method (FEM). This method is also known as Ritz's variation principle and the Rayleigh-Ritz ...
In 1911, Rayleigh complemented Ritz for his method for solving Chladni's problem, but complained for the lack of citation of his earlier work. However the similarity between Rayleigh's and Ritz's method has sometimes been challenged. [29] [31] [30] Ritz's methods are sometimes referred as Rayleigh–Ritz method or simply Ritz method, depending ...
The calculations are based on simplified models which resemble various structural components (lumped parameters models), equations obtained from solving models numerically (Rayleigh–Ritz method) and finally from the finite element method (FEM), which is another approach for modelling and analysis of the machine for natural frequencies.
Galerkin method — a finite element method in which the residual is orthogonal to the finite element space Discontinuous Galerkin method — a Galerkin method in which the approximate solution is not continuous; Rayleigh–Ritz method — a finite element method based on variational principles; Spectral element method — high-order finite ...
