Figure 8

Output responses measured for the rotor at rest excited by an impact force.

(a) Output measured along the x direction of the bearing B₁.

(b) Output measured along the z direction of the bearing B₁.

(c) Output measured along the x direction of the bearing B₂.

(d) Output measured along the z direction of the bearing B₂.

(e) Output measured along the x direction of the bearing B₃.

(f) Output measured along the z direction of the bearing B₃.
