An automatic, root-searching, extended Holzer method is described that is guaranteed to determine all the natural frequencies of a system with the exception of those values lying within prescribed tolerance bandwidth limits. The method is described and illustrated by the determination of the natural frequencies of an eight-rotor free-free torsional vibration system.
