Power cylinder friction is a major contributor to overall engine friction. For engines of the
future to become more fuel efficient it will be necessary to reduce power cylinder friction. To …

Mechanical power loss of lubricated and bearing surfaces serves as an attractive domain for
study and research in the field of internal combustion engines. Friction reduction at …

In this article, a previously developed and experimentally validated piston secondary motion
model has been improved further numerically and applied to understand the detailed …

This paper presents a numerical model of the rotational and lateral dynamics of the piston
(secondary motion) and piston slap in mixed lubrication. Piston dynamic behavior, frictional …

Some different equations to calculate the maximum deformation that a given ring can
conform to, are found in the bibliography. These equations do not consider the ring end gap …

Elasto-Hydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) analysis of a fully flooded piston skirt-liner
conjunction is a useful methodology for design analysis of pistons. However, under typical …

In this paper, a previously developed and experimentally-validated piston secondary motion
model has been improved further numerically and applied to understand the detailed …

The piston secondary motion is an important phenomenon in internal combustion (IC)
engine. It occurs due to the piston transverse and rotational motion during piston …

A method for the optimization of piston skirt profiles used in internal combustion engine
piston design is proposed. The method is based on a response surface approximation of …

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication, piston dynamics and friction are important characteristics
determining the performance and efficiency of an internal combustion engine. This paper …
