What is meant by a critical speed for rotating machinery?
A
The critical speed of a shaft is the speed at which it will fly apart due to excessive centrifugal forces associated with excessive speed.
B
The critical speed of a shaft is the speed of rotation that is in harmonic synchronism with the shaft's natural vibration frequency which produces excessive vibration.
C
The critical speed of a shaft is the speed of rotation that is out of harmonic synchronism with the shaft's natural vibration frequency which produces excessive vibration.
D
The critical speed of a shaft is the speed at which it will shear due to excessive torque placed upon it by the prime mover in driving the load.
