RETRACTED: Analysis of the effectiveness of using torsional vibration dampers for crankshafts with adaptive characteristics in internal combustion engines

Abstract

The research aims to determine the effectiveness of torsional dampers with adaptive characteristics for crankshafts of piston internal combustion engines. The paper deals with the pressing issue of designing a torsional vibration damper for crankshafts of internal combustion engines, which can work efficiently in the entire operating range of speed variance. The standard approach to design the damper with constant characteristics implies one resonant operating mode, which in actual practice is not always justified. This fact decreases the operating efficiency, especially for the forced V-type engines. In order to determine the design parameters of dampers with adaptive characteristics, a multi-parameter optimization problem must be solved, which requires experimental validation. The work considers an approximate method, according to which the main parameters of the designed damper for different operating modes are determined. We obtained the general trend of changing the torsional damper characteristics by performing calculations for different engine operating modes. Based on these data, it is possible to determine the operating modes of the control mechanism. Comparing the efficiency of dampers with constant characteristics under the same modes allows validating the results’ adequacy. The scientific novelty lies in the developed method of modes determining torsional vibration damper parameters at changing speed and operating can help design new efficient forced internal combustion engines.
