This,, for the given value of E, is exactly the same result asis obtained in equation (4) above. If the critical speed is exceeded either by providing guideswhich prevent the excessive deflection or by speedmg up soquickly that the inertia of the shaft prevents the dangerousdeflections from developing, the shaft will settle down and nui smoothly in a deflected form (Fig. 263), the weightrotating about an axis which gradually approaches its centreof gravity as the speed increases. This fact is made use of inthe flexible shaft of the De Laval turbine. If t-j is the critical velocity we may put in equation (1) ROTATING DRUMS, DISKS, AND SHAFTS 565 i. e. 8 = WP -WP o.;2 (u2 — O) 2 •e (5) This gets numerically less as o) increases, so that as the speed increases more and more the shaft tends to straighten out.
