The high required performance relies on a good design focusing a torque oscillation applied by the driver. In the first part of this job, dynamic model of reciprocating is presented. Newton-Euler method is used to get motion equations. In the second part, numerical results are presented. Simulations are used for calculating the driving moment as function of crankshaft motion. These results illustrate the effect of the flywheel and motor on its dynamics and are used for induction motor selection and flywheel sizing for optimizing crankshaft torque fluctuation and power consumption reduction.展开更多
