← TechnologyWhich risk increases when crankshaft torsional vibration damper fails on an engine undergoing rapid acceleration?
A)Excessive NOx emission from incomplete combustion
B)Crankshaft fatigue failure from resonance✓
C)Oil pump cavitation from fluctuating load
D)Coolant boiling from localized hot spots
💡 Explanation
When the torsional vibration damper fails, crankshaft resonance occurs as vibrational energy amplifies because damping is lost, leading to fatigue and potential fractures. Therefore, crankshaft fatigue failure results, rather than increased emissions, pump cavitation, or coolant boiling, each needing different triggering mechanisms.
