The critical speeds and mode shapes are most important to determine the behaviors of rotor in designing rotating machinery. As the capacity and the span of turbine-generator increases, the turbine-generator system has many components such as bearings, pedestal, turbine and baseplates etc. and it is getting flexible and has many critical speeds. Especially, the characteristics of bearing-pedestal are very complicated and then they affect the entire vibration characteristics of turbine-generator system. In this paper, it is observed how to determine the equivalent dynamic stiffness of bearing-pedestal by analytic and experimental method.
