  Abstract
  Next, this design method is applied to the timing regulation of multicylinder engine. Simulation results show that the engine cycle pattern with uniform phase shift is achieved even if the number of cylinders in the engine varies due to the trouble or system extensions. The simulations also demonstrate that this oscillation pattern certainly reduces the fluctuation of rotational velocity of the engine shaft.
