The influence of the arrangement scheme on balancing and mass dimension parameters of engines

Abstract

The influence of the number of cylinders and the scheme of crank mechanism on the parameters of balanc-ing, mass and size is evaluated in this article. The study of balancing of two sets of engines was fulfilled. Computer analysis of the main load – carrying factors present in each of the engines, was performed, using generalized method of calculation of nominal balancing. The idea of this method is the creation of unified computation scheme of crank mechanism and unified mathematical apparatus, by means of which it is possible to research balancing of any engine.
