Good article. The L-98 Corvette engine (and LT-1) when coupled to the 6-speed tranny also use a dual mass flywheel, for exactly that same reason. When switched to an aluminum flywheel- same results. Another thing too- when the clutch disc with spring dampeners are changed to one without the springs, same thing happens, just takes a bit longer. The Corvettes with auto tranny's don't have this problem as the transmission acts as the buffer (shock & harmonics absorber). In our case, I'm sure the problem can be fixed by finding and fixing the dynamics of the problem rather than the use of just brute strength (heavier crankshaft).
With all else being equal, do planes with constant speed props have the same problem? (grasping at straws here- what would our equivalence be to the auto tranny vs. manual gearbox) Rubber mounted prop huh?? Self balancing prop huh?? More mass in the prop hub?? 2-blade vs. 3-blade prop?? -Barrett -----Original Message----- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of Glenn Martin Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 1:25 PM To: KRnet Subject: KR> Reading related to Cranks and flywheels Might be helpful: http://www.flat6innovations.com/broken-crank -- Glenn Martin, KR2 N1333A, Biloxi, MS _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
