A Campbell diagram plot represents a system's response spectrum as a function of its oscillation regime. It is named for Wilfred Campbell, who introduced the concept.[1][2] It is also called an interference diagram.[3]
In rotordynamics[edit]
In rotordynamical systems, the eigenfrequencies often depend on the rotation rates due to the induced gyroscopic effects or variable hydrodynamic conditions in fluid bearings. It might represent the following cases:
- Analytically computed values of eigenfrequencies as a function of the shaft's rotation speed. This case is also called "whirl speed map".[4] Such a chart can be used in turbine design.
- Experimentally measured vibration response spectrum as a function of the shaft's rotation speed (waterfall plot), the peak locations for each slice usually corresponding to the eigenfrequencies.
In acoustical engineering[edit]
In acoustical engineering, the Campbell diagram would represent the pressure spectrum waterfall plot vs the machine's shaft rotation speed (sometimes also called 3D noise map).
