An interactive computer-aided package for electrical engineering education This paper describes an interactive, general-purpose computer-aided teaching package. This package is for use on IBM or compatible personal computers. Although it was initially developed for training electrical engineering students, it is envisaged that it can also be applied to other areas of higher education.

Abstract This paper describes an analytical approach for calculating the damped critical speeds of multi-degree-of-freedom rotor-bearing systems. It is shown that to calculate the critical speeds is equivalent to finding the roots of a proposed matrix algebraic equation. The technique employes a Newton-Raphson scheme and the derivatives of eigenvalues. The system left eigenvectors are used to simplify the calculations. Based on this approach, a general-purpose computer program was developed with a finite element model of rotor-bearing systems. The program automatically generates system equations and finds the critical speeds. The program is applied to analyze a turbomachine supported by two cylindrical oil-film Journal bearings. The results are compared with reported data and the agreements are very good.

SummaryA convolution technique for the reduction of three dimensional interferometer measurements to two dimensions is described. With the addition of relatively simple hardware to a general purpose computer the technique allows fast, efficient processing of three dimensional data.
