The diamond circular saw is an extensively used tool in stone, construction and road maintenance industries for sawing stone and concrete. However, its vibration and noise have been nuisances to users, and little literature is available concerning this subject. The major aspects of this investigation include: the first thirty five natural frequencies and resonant modes of circular saw blades of two different diameters are computed using the finite element method; based on these thirty five natural frequencies and resonant modes, the harmonic analysis is carried out to obtain their response spectrum; and through analyzing the computational results, some conclusions on the dynamic characteristics of diamond circular saw blades are reached.
