Hi Tim,

Good explanation. And 100% right on the effects of the flywheel weight. =
Not to discount the pulley at the front of the crank and its effect =
also.

=20

What you are feeling at around the 5200 mark is the 2nd harmonic of the =
crankshafts natural frequency. The 2nd harmonic is usually the most =
destructive harmonic and this is the crankshaft bending the most during =
rotation. Usually, but not always around the mid distance crank. But can =
be around the 2nd crank journal in the 4 Cyl engine. You will see that a =
lot of people will fit billet, machined, large main bearing cap around =
mid-crank length as they have had issues with either bearing =
=E2=80=98wipe=E2=80=99 of broken cap bolts. They are trying to =
counteract the 2nd harmonic by making the bearing journal stiffer.=20

=20

You don=E2=80=99t need to complete a complex calculation to understand =
what RPM=E2=80=99s you should minimise holding your duration at. The =
crank is suspended and =E2=80=98struck=E2=80=99 and the natural =
frequency that the crank vibrates/resonates at will give you =
it=E2=80=99s harmonic characteristics. Just like a tuning fork. This is =
the basis for setting your RPM=E2=80=99s and multiples of that RPM to =
stay away from. OR you need to reduce the effect at those RPM=E2=80=99s. =
Say, using a harmonic balancer design to reduce the harmonic effect at =
certain RPM=E2=80=99s.

=20

Just as Joe Alexander describes, the first harmonic is in the 2800 RPM =
range, but it is the least destructive so you almost miss feeling it.

=20

Hope that helps?

Have a great day

The weight of the flywheel will definitely affect the harmonic =
frequency.  The heavier the flywheel, the lower the harmonic frequency =
will be.  The flywheel contributes a significant amount to the total =
rotating inertia due to its weight and that the weight is at greater =
radius than the other rotating masses.  Inertia increases as the square =
of the radius.  It is not a linear function of the radius.

=20

An RPM of 5200 was mentioned as the harmonic resonance.  I had always =
heard that it was more like 6300 RPM.  I have never seen a calculation =
for it.  It would be complex.  Note that lighter pistons and connecting =
rods would tend to lower the harmonic frequency as they would reduce the =
inertia in the engine.

Something I have wondered about for years.

Does the weight of the flywheel affect the RPM and intensity of =
harmonics inherent in a TR3/4 stock crank? I've never found an answer to =
that question.
