A computational assessment of the vibrational behaviour of turbo-sets on elastic foundations is of significance with regard to the design and optimization of the complete installation. Using modern computer programs, for example, MADYN, and refined modelling techniques, the natural and response behaviour of even large systems can be calculated reliably, but there does remain some uncertainty, especially with regard to vibration excitement. The present contribution develops possibilities of how to handle these problems.
