Progress and Recent Trends in the Torsional Vibration of Internal Combustion Engine

Abstract

With modern machinery industry developing, the application of internal combustion engine is getting wider and research direction is towards high-power, high speed and strong loads. So the issue of torsional vibration of the engine is becoming more prominent. All kinds of work conditions of the engine may have great impacts on the shafting, leading to all sorts of torsional vibration and resonance, and many accidents which lead to much detriment have occurred at home and abroad due to torsional vibration. As the problem of torsional vibration of the engine is becoming more and more prominent, broad research is made both at home and abroad. This article mainly refers to the literatures on torsional vibration issue published in recent years, summarizes on the modeling of torsional vibration, corresponding analysis methods, appropriate measures and torsional vibration control, and points out the problems to be solved in the study and some new research directions.
