Hi there
Very sorry for this , I posted this already butfor some reason could not open the reply someone sent.

I have a single cylinder motorcycle engine . What I want to do is get an estimate of the frequency and loads ..the operating range is between 2000 and 4000 rpm

for the frequency I was thinking of using

f=(1/2) (pi) (48EI/M L^3)^(1/2)

then for the Force

F = M x ( 2 pi N)^2

then find the RMS of this
Vrms = ( sum aplitude x sum frequency ) ^(1/2)

Am I anywhere near the ball park...
hope some one can help as I will then get a good Idea of a balance factor ..I hope

Regards in advance Stephen

RylEnfield,

Unfortunately the subject of engine balance and the various formulae for calculating it would be difficult to present in this format. Look into purchasing a copy of The Internal-Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice Volume 2 Revised Edition by Charles Fayette Taylor. Or some other equivalent book.

Good Luck
