🔍 Key Concepts

• Torsional vibration characteristics in a marine diesel engine • Which rotating member experiences the greatest twisting loads from each power stroke • Purpose and typical mounting location of a viscous damper

💭 Think About

• Which shaft is directly driven by the pistons and receives the firing impulses from all cylinders? • Which component usually has a separate, heavy, bolted-on device at one end specifically to smooth out twisting vibrations? • Between camshaft, flywheel, crankshaft, and thrust shaft, which one’s twisting (torsional) motion is most critical to control to prevent engine damage?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which part is the primary rotating member that converts reciprocating motion to rotary motion • Recall where manufacturers commonly mount torsional vibration dampers on large diesels (front or free end of the engine) • Distinguish between components that mainly transmit power versus those that primarily control timing or store rotational energy
