← TechnologyWhich mechanical issue is accelerated when a diesel engine crankshaft experiences torsional resonance at elevated RPM?
A)Harmonic Balancer Degradation
B)Crankshaft Fatigue Failure✓
C)Connecting Rod Buckling
D)Piston Ring Groove Wear
💡 Explanation
When torsional resonance occurs in a crankshaft at high RPM, it generates excessive cyclical stress because vibration is amplified at the resonant frequency, initiating fatigue crack propagation. Therefore, crankshaft fatigue failure is accelerated, rather than balancer degradation, rod buckling, or ring wear, which result from different stress types.
