A TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING, RECORDING AND ANALYZING TORSIONAL OSCILLATIONS OF CRACKSHAFTS OF RECIPROCATING ENGINES.

Abstract

Tests were conducted to measure torsional oscillations of the crankshafts of reciprocating engines. The data were to give a record of amplitude and frequency of oscillations over the range of 2 HZ to 20,000 HZ. This report explains the choice of transducers, the instrument techniques used in the field, and the method of data analysis used in the laboratory. (Author)
