← TechnologyWhich risk increases when rapid engine acceleration places excessive stress on a crankshaft?
A)Torsional resonance and fatigue failure✓
B)Excessive connecting rod bearing clearance
C)Reduced volumetric efficiency of cylinders
D)Increased lubricating oil foaming tendency
💡 Explanation
Torsional resonance can induce fatigue because the crankshaft's natural frequency is excited by rapid acceleration, propagating stress waves therefore causing cracks at stress concentrations rather than directly affecting lubrication.
