A Simulation of Crankshaft Bending Vibration

Crankshaft bending vibration was investigated with a computer simulation technique. First, the crankshaft bending vibrations are briefly explained. Second, some critical points of theoretical analysis including gyro-scopic term and effect of shaft asymmetry are explained. Finaly, the crankshaft system is modeled by a transefer matrix and calculated. The results showed good correlation with the experimental data.
