Different methods for the empirical determination of the natural frequencies of circular saw blades are presented. Stationary methods, such as the harmonic and impulse tests, are discussed and the results of related comparison are given. The comparison of the methods revealed their degree of practical usefulness and their accuracy in determining natural frequencies. A combination of specific methods is proposed, which should allow...

In this paper results of comparison of characteristic resonant frequencies of circular saw blades as a function of the saw clamping diameter from the impact test are presented. Obtained results revealed that proportionally with the increase of the saw clamping diameter also the dynamical stiffness of the saw blade increased. As a consequence of that the resonant frequencies of the saw blade move to higher values. Moreover, with...

To determine the minimal critical rotational speeds of the circular saw blades is the fundamental aspect of obtaining the range of the rotational operating speeds, by which the circular saw blade can work with required stability. While for the circular saw blades with full-homogeneous bodies the determination of such rotational speeds is the relatively low level of difficulty function, whereas for circular saw blades with more...
