Abstract
Process mechanical system models are considered and the techniques for analysis are discussed. A method for the investigation of system models which possess multiple degrees of freedom is outlined. To illustrate this general procedure the dynamical response of a pulp blender-beater, with dual impellers and five degrees of freedom, for paper and board manufacturing is computed.
