N2 - An efficient method has been developed to determine the steady state response of an internal combustion engine, which is governed by a nonlinear differential equation with discontinuous forcing function due to the nature of the pressure-volume (P-V) diagram. Unlike previously reported methods for dynamically driven mechanical systems, this approach can accurately and efficiently predict the sensitivities of an engine's output to dimensional tolerances. Hence, this technique is well suited for the development of an optimal tolerance allocation scheme based on nonlinear programming. The validity of this method which is based on the alternating frequency/time (AFT) domain technique has been establish^ by comparison with results from numerical integration of differential equation of motion. This method directly yields the mean crank speed and Fourier coefficients of temporal variations in engine's outputs such as crank's speed and the driving torque.
