Abstract
Many analytical results have already been reported on the imbalanced exciting moment of V-type multi-cylinder engine. These analytical methods generally follow the steps in which the cylinder arrangement and the bank angle of the engine are determined initially and then the exciting moments are analyzed. In contrast, in our analytical method, effective cylinder arrangements are selected initially using the reduction condition of exciting moment, and then the most suitable bank angle is determined. We have already determined new bank angles of V-type 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines using the method mentioned above. In this paper, we study the exciting moment of a V-type 10-cylinder engine that was developed by an American automobile company. We have not deter-mined a way to completely suppress the imbalanced moment of the engine, but we found new bank angles of the practical engine. In this report, we show the method for calculating the effective cylinder arrangements and the bank angle of a V-10 engine.
