Extract

The chief aim of the vibration engineer is to prevent the occurrence of structural failure due to excessive vibration. A secondary aim of only slightly less importance is to ensure comfort for personnel by the elimination of physiologically unpleasant vibrations; this consideration is a vital factor in the effective design of operational aircraft. The technique of vibration research is largely a matter of detecting and avoiding resonant conditions, and any method of predicting natural frequencies by calculation is welcome if only because it offers the possibility of reducing the practical testing programme.
