🔍 Key Concepts

• Tie rods in large, low‑speed, crosshead‑type diesel engines • How firing forces act on the bedplate, columns (frames), and cylinder block • Difference between supporting the engine on the hull and holding the engine’s internal structure together

💭 Think About

• Think about what parts of the engine structure the tie rods actually connect from and to. Are they external mounting pieces or internal structural members? • Consider what happens to the engine structure when a cylinder fires: which direction do the forces try to pull or push the engine components, and what kind of stress (tension or compression) results? • Ask yourself: is a tie rod’s job mainly to transmit motion, to mount the engine, or to keep major structural components clamped together under load?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe internal structural loading versus external mounting or motion transmission. • Check which option mentions tensile forces caused by firing and whether that fits how tie rods run through a large low‑speed engine. • Eliminate any option that sounds like a function of foundation bolts, holding‑down bolts, or piston/crosshead connections rather than tie rods.
