Critical or Whirling Speed given Stiffness of Shaft evaluator uses Critical or Whirling Speed = sqrt(Stiffness of Shaft/Mass of Rotor) to evaluate the Critical or Whirling Speed, Critical or Whirling Speed given Stiffness of Shaft formula is defined as a measure of the rotational speed at which a shaft begins to vibrate violently, which can lead to its failure, and is dependent on the stiffness of the shaft and the mass of the rotating element. Critical or Whirling Speed is denoted by ωc symbol.
