Some properties of a diesel drive line with hydrodynamic torque converters of the latest generation

Dynamic properties of a drive line with a controlled Diesel engine, hydrodynamic transmission mechanism, additional gearing and a loading-working machine producing common monoharmonic loading are investigated. Solution of the dynamic problem is based on phenomenological experimental data: driving torque-speed characteristic in the part of the prime mover and so-called external static characteristic in the hydrotransmission part. The non-linear task is solved by a modified harmonic balance method that was described in preceding publications by the author.
