The purpose of this thesis is design of a six-cylinder engine arrangement with given main parameters (bore, stroke, etc.), powertrain design, possibilities of firing order, balancing inertia forces and its moments, in case of need, balancing shaft design and calculation of torsion vibrations.

Diploma thesis is trying to analyze crank mechanism of a gas V-sixteen engine. Kinematics and balance crank mechanism are analyzed, dynamic model parameters are dermined, natural frequency of the torsional system are calculated, coupling parameters are designed and torsional problem with attached electric generator is analyzed.

The purpose of this thesis is design of five-cylinder in-line diesel engine with rubber dumper, with given main parameters, powerstrain design, balancing inertia forces and its moments, modal analysis, calculation of torsion vibrations and design of rubber dumper.

The purpose of this work is design of a five-cylinder in-line diesel engine with the given initial parameters. The work will be analyzed by balancing the engine, remove the effects of unbalanced masses by the unbalance of the crankshaft and separate balancing unit. It will also be analyzed driveline torsion vibration, followed by reducing the effects of torsion vibration by using rubber torsion vibration dampers. At the conclusion will be modal and stress analysis of the crankshaft using the FEM program.

The purpose of this thesis is two-cylinder in-line four stroke petrol engine design based on input parameters. The work consists of different variations of designed crankshaft balancing and balancing unit. Calculation method of torsion vibration and crankshaft fatigue failure solution based on stress analysis are included.

The main aim of this master’s thesis is to design the powertrain of turbocharged threecylinder in-line gasoline engine based on given parameters. The work introduces three variants of balancing of inertia moment of rotating masses and balancer unit of first order moment of inertia of reciprocating parts. The thesis also presents calculation of torsion vibration of the powertrain and structural design of the rubber damper. In conclusion a stress analysis of the crankshaft is submitted with and without torsion vibration damper.

This thesis is focused to design of powertrain V-four gasoline engine. It compares crank-pins configuration, firing sequence and bank angle with a view of crankshaft stress and torsional vibration. The thesis also includes crankshaft balancing design.

Master’s thesis with title Viscous torsional vibration damper of a gas v-sixteen engine deals with torsion vibrafon of the crankshaft and chance how to eliminated it. First part of diploma thesis containes calculation of torsion vibrafon without damper. In second part is added damper. In the end of this thesis is equaiont made of both parts.

Master´s thesis deals with design of four cylinder race engine for rally application with requirement of small construction weight, by using specific Super 2000 regulations. Calculation analysis is mainly focused on crankshaft stress analysis and torsion vibration.
