76 AIRCRAFT ENGINEERIN G March, 1938 A Formula Giving Close Approximations for Calculating Fundamental Frequencies By Li Teng-Ko, B.SC H E usual cases that occur in torsional vibration calculations are of the type shown in Fig. 1. where p = Value of equa l mass. c = Value of equa l stiffness. sp = Value of the first mass, s being generally large. rc = Value of the stiffness of the first portion. n = Number of equal masses. For the lower frequencies the general solution for this case is given by where β is determined from the equation, Or neglecting , Equatio n (2) becomes By Formula (5) = 0·093. f = 82·1 v.p.s. which give n values of β corresponding to n By Formula (4) = 0·09295. frequencies. f = 82·0 v.p.s.
