Rayleigh's method of vibration analysis is based on the principle of conservation of energy. It equates the maximum kinetic energy of the system to the maximum potential energy (strain energy) stored during a cycle of vibration. This equality holds because the total energy remains constant, and energy is converted back and forth between kinetic and potential forms.
In Rayleigh’s method, the _______ at the mean position (where potential energy is zero) is equal to the maximum potential energy (or strain energy) at the extreme position (where the kinetic energy is zero). - (5) Question not attempted
