Influence coefficient method is used in the balancing calculation. The theory is based on two papers:

  1. Tessarzik, J. M., Badgley, R. H., and Anderson, W. J., 1972, Flexible Rotor Balancing by the Exact Point-Speed Influence Coefficient Method, ASME Journal of Engineering for Industry, Feb., 1972, pp 148-158.
  2. Lund, J. W. and Tonnesen, J., 1972, Analysis and Experiments on Multi-Plane Balancing of a Flexible Rotor, ASME Journal of Engineering for Industry, Feb., 1972, pp 233-242.

Since the least square method is used to solve the simultaneous equations, the Number of Measured Probes times the Number of Speed Points must be greater than or equal to the Number of Balancing Planes. (NsXNm >= Nb).

To use the influence coefficient method, no prior knowledge in rotor mode is required. However, trial weights are required to obtain the influence coefficients.
