← TechnologyWhich risk dramatically escalates when internal bending in an engine's crankshaft oscillates near its natural frequency?
A)Torsional resonance induced fatigue failure✓
B)Lubrication oil film breakdown
C)Increased frictional clutch engagement
D)Reduced cylinder compression leakage
💡 Explanation
Torsional resonance occurs because fluctuating torque causes the crankshaft to oscillate; therefore, when this frequency matches the crankshaft's natural frequency, resonance amplifies stress, leading to fatigue failure, rather than smooth operation or damping.
