  2. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    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. For a shaft that is divided into n segments, the first natural frequency for a given beam, in rad/s , can be approximated as:

  3. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    Dunkerley's method [1] [2] is used in mechanical engineering to determine the critical speed of a shaft-rotor system. Other methods include the Rayleigh–Ritz method . Whirling of a shaft

  4. Critical embankment velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_embankment_velocity

    For engineering design, improving the critical embankment velocity to a higher value as compared with the operating speed is a conservative way to protect the passengers safety. As the issues related to the critical embankment velocity taking place after the operation of lines for many years, mitigation measures play an imperative role for the ...

  5. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    For air with a heat capacity ratio =, then =; other gases have in the range 1.09 (e.g. butane) to 1.67 (monatomic gases), so the critical pressure ratio varies in the range < / <, which means that, depending on the gas, choked flow usually occurs when the downstream static pressure drops to below 0.487 to 0.587 times the absolute pressure in ...

  6. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    This speed is the asymptotic limiting value of the speed, and the forces acting on the body balance each other more and more closely as the terminal speed is approached. In this example, a speed of 50.0% of terminal speed is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99%, and so on.

  9. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    The subsonic speed range is that range of speeds within which, all of the airflow over an aircraft is less than Mach 1. The critical Mach number (Mcrit) is lowest free stream Mach number at which airflow over any part of the aircraft first reaches Mach 1. So the subsonic speed range includes all speeds that are less than Mcrit. Transonic: 0.8–1.2
