Abstract: | The forces from the engine firings and the rotational motion of a crankshaft cause excitations in vehicle engines. In conventional
in-line engines, crank angles might be evenly assigned by dividing 360 degrees by the number of cylinders. In this paper,
allocation of crank angles was carried out in two different ways, (1) to minimize the moments excited in an engine and (2)
to minimize the forces transmitted to the engine mounts. The forces and moments due to gas pressure and reciprocating parts
in the engine were formulated, and a computer program to predict the excitation forces and moments was developed. The developed
program was applied to a four-stroke seven-cylinder engine to reduce the first- and the second- order moments produced by
the engine. Then, it was also applied to minimize the forces transmitted to the engine mounts. The optimized crank angles,
in contrast to those of conventional engines, were not evenly distributed. The moments and forces were reduced with the optimized
crank angles. |
