A Theory On Interpreting Engine Noises, Robert C. Erickson

Undergraduate Student Work

Mechanics have always used sounds to "trouble shoot" an engine. To a trained ear, each sound is different. Since an ear can be this sensitive, this paper will attempt to prove that electronic equipment can be considerably more accurate in detecting engine problems. The writer of this paper has attempted a project in which he hopes to prove that valve and bearing problems can be located by studying oscilloscope displays. These displays would picture the sound frequencies of valve and bearings in operation. The writer assumed that a comparison could be made of the displays of a normal engine operation …

The Static And Dynamic Balance Of Rotating Mechanisms In The Automobile, Joel E. Tjelmeland

Graduate Research Papers

What are the physics and mechanics involved in the static and dynamic balance of rotating mechanisms in the automobile? To what degree is balance necessary in the various mechanisms? What machines are available for balancing the various mechanisms? What are the skills involved in the balance of these mechanisms? How can the materials available best be organized into a unit which can be used in the industrial arts power and automotive programs?
