WHIRILING OF SHAFT DEMONSTRATOR

The setup is designed to study the whirling of shafts. The set-up consists of a sturdy frame, bearing holders, variable-speed motor, etc. to drive the shaft along with a speed control unit. The different bearings can be fitted in bearing block to have different end conditions i.e. (i) both end fixed, (ii) one end free and one end fixed, etc. As the test is destructive, hence the shaft can’t be used again.
