Abstract

The studies for decreasing the generated vibrations of Internal Combustion Engines are focused mainly on reciprocating engines, because of their wide usage. But there are little studies interested in the vibrtations of rotary Wankel engine.
The main objective of this research is focused to:
1. Develop a theoretical model of small NSU-Wankel engine for predicting the resultant shackingforces and moments.
2. Study the characteristics of the induced vibrations during operation. Experimental investigation of the generated vibrations is used to assure the final results that are obtained from the theoretical analysis.
