3.1 Overall balancing
Balancing the rotating and reciprocating masses is the third key parameter in V-type multi-cylinder engine architecture. The essential aim of overall balancing is to minimize, or even eliminate, the forces and moments due to the inertia of moving masses . For rotating masses, one force and one moment must be balanced. For reciprocating masses, two forces and two moments corresponding...
