Abstract
Torsional vibration (TV) is one of the major issues and very important calculation for the safe running of internal combustion
engines, specifically crankshaft. The properties of parts connected to the crankshaft have significant effect on vibration of the system
as well as the crankshaft life. Initial selection of this part is usually specified based on engine designer experience and also the
torsional vibration calculation of the crank train. In this paper, the focus is to find optimum tuned mass to connect to the crankshaft
from the damper side using CAE tools. It is a mounting disk at the free end of the crankshaft named tuned mass. Therefore, the effect
of tuned mass inertia on design criteria, especially crankshaft life, was investigated. The results show high sensitivity of high cycle
fatigue safety factor of crankshaft to tuned mass. Therefore, adding a suitable tuned mass to the system can increase the crankshaft
life, when needed. The results were presented in the paper in detail.
