← TechnologyWhich risk increases when unbalanced harmonic excitation affects an engine crankshaft?
A)Resonance induces torsional fatigue failure✓
B)Detonation causes pre-ignition events
C)Scavenging reduces volumetric efficiency
D)Blowby contaminates lubricating engine oil
💡 Explanation
Harmonic excitation near the crankshaft's natural frequency causes resonance, therefore significantly increasing torsional stress leading to fatigue failure, rather than pre-ignition; because scavenging and blowby relate to combustion and sealing of gases rather than mechanical stresses.
