2. Forces, torques and moments applied to the multi-cylinder engine and its crankshaft
The rotational inertia forces F i/rot associated with each cylinder rotate with the crankshaft and generate vertical forces of order 1 and horizontal forces of order 1. Depending on the number of cylinders and crankshaft configuration, these forces can generate sifting and ramming movements of order 1, as well as galloping and yawing movements also of order 1.
The alternative inertial forces F i/alt linked to each of the cylinders are directed along the axis (O, z) and can be broken down into sums of sinusoidal forces of orders 1, 2, 4, 6... They generate rammer movements as well as galloping movements of orders 1, 2, 4, 6...
Finally, the moments of inertia M i/alt and gas M g...
