Model Reduction of the Flexible Rotating Crankshaft of a Motorcycle Engine Cranktrain

This paper addresses the development of an elastodynamic model of a motorcycle engine cranktrain aimed at accurately evaluating the interactions between the crankshaft and the engine block, thus allowing an improved structural design. A rigid multibody model is first implemented and simulated; only...
