  6. 20. Analysis and simulation of centrifugal pendulum vibration absorbers

    University essay from KTH/MWL Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet

    Author : Emma Smith; [2015]
    Keywords : CPA; Adams Car; drivetrain simulations; epicycloid; tuning;

    Abstract : When environmental laws are constricted and downsizing of engines has become the reality of the vehicle industry, there needs to be a solution for the rise in torsion vibrations in the drivetrain. These increased levels of torsion vibrations are mostly due to excitations from the firing pulses, which in turn have become increased due to higher cylinder pressures. READ MORE
