“…Downloaded by [University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries] at 04:55 03 January 2015 T his paper, as a continuation of the authors' research in this area [19,20], summarizes the results of a comprehensive study of the in uence of mechanical parameter's uncertainty on torsional oscillations. T he study deals with the eOE ects that mechanical parameters, namely inertia, spring constant, and internal and external damping, have on damping, frequency, and mode shapes of torsional modes and on maximum torsional torques in the turbine-generator shaft.…”
