Abstract

A method for the damping of mechanical vibrations in the drive train of an internal combustion engine by detection of vibration excitations in the drive train, and adjustment of the ignition angle of the internal combustion engine in the event of the occurrence of a vibration excitation in the drive train, in order to damp the vibration in the drive train, the adjustment of the ignition angle taking place in a flexible way.
