equipment "running up" from a standing start?
What did you consider?
I've got a machine skid with excitation loads from the vendor running
full-out at 30,000 RPM, and he recommends a linear relationship for
speeds less than that (I.e. Half the load amplitude at 15,000 RPM).
Oh, and the skid's sitting on a steel platform, which is why this is
critical.
I'm using STAAD.PRO and I guess I could code it for discrete time-
stops along the way but I'm not sure how accurate it'd be.
Any other suggestions?
