Abstract

A vibration reducing system of an internal combustion engine for an automotive vehicle. The vibration reducing system comprises a roll vibration system which generates a roll vibration of an engine main body, the roll vibration having a first vibration mode. Additionally, a rotational vibration system is provided to generate a rotational vibration having a second vibration mode, and includes a crankshaft of the engine, for generating a rotational driving force, a main flywheel fixedly connected to the crankshaft, a driving force transmitting mechanism through which the rotational driving force of the crankshaft is transmitted, the driving force transmitting mechanism being movably secured to the engine main body, and an inertial mass member drivably connected to the driving force transmitting mechanism and rotatable to generate an inertial force upon receiving the rotational driving force transmitted through the driving force transmitting mechanism. In the vibration reducing system, the first and second vibration modes cause antiresonance at an antiresonance frequency. Additionally, the rotational vibration system is adjusted to cause the antiresonance frequency to be generally coincident with one of frequencies which are obtained respectively by multiplying an engine-revolutional frequency at a predetermined engine speed by values each being represented by (a natural number/2).
