A METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE OPERATION MODES OF AN AUTOMOBILE ENGINE BY THE WEAR RESISTANCE OF BEARINGS IN THE CRANKSHAFT
The article describes the methods and results of bench tests of the KAMAZ-740.14-300 engine in the form of loading, high-speed and multiparameter characteristics using a new criterion of wear resistance for the bearings of a crankshaft. Minimal wearmodes for loading the engine, and high-speed modes for movement of a vehicle have been defined.
