This journal article summarizes an investigation into the bending moments experienced by the master rod of a radial aircraft engine. The author presents charts showing the magnitude and fluctuation of turning moments caused by gas pressure, inertia forces from the articulated rods, and inertia forces within the master rod itself. A simple formula is also derived that can approximate these bending moments for similar radial aircraft engines with nine cylinders or more.

Abstract
HEREIN are presented the results of an investigation of the bending moments in the master rod of a radial
aircraft engine by a graphical method, and a simple formula derived therefrom for approximating this
moment in similar engines. The bending stress in the master rod comes from turning moments about the
crankpin axis caused by the action of the articulated rods due to gas-pressure and inertia forces and also
by the inertia forces. in the master rod itself. Charts are presented that show the magnitude and fluctuation
of these turning moments. Accurate computation of these moments involves much tedious work. A method
of approximating them with sufficient accuracy for engineering purposes is given for the case of a nine-
cylinder radial aircraft engine. The method is applicable also to non-radial engines and to radial engines
having other than nine cylinders, but in these cases investigation of the turning moments due to the gas
loads in certain cylinders seems advisable.
