Experimental Study Results Processing Method for the Marine Diesel Engines Vibration Activity Caused by the Cylinder-Piston Group Operations

Abstract

The article discusses the method and results of processing statistical data from an experimental study of vibrations in marine diesel engines caused by the operation of cylinder-piston groups. The results of the application of a ranking method for identifying factors that influence vibration in marine diesel engines are presented to determine the most significant ones. A series of experiments were conducted according to special plans to actively implement the random balance method. This helped to establish the correctness of selecting the most significant factors from a variety of factors that influence the process under study. The article presents a mathematical model that enables the calculation of current values and prediction of changes in the most significant indicators, with the clearance between the piston and the cylinder liner being the most important.
