ABSTRACT A new piston secondary motion analysis has been developed that accurately predicts piston strength and the slap noise that occurs when the engine is running. For this secondary motion ...

This collection of cam-related phenomena is intended to take you beyond the degree-it-in and set-the-valve-lash plateau. In concert with what you may already know about camshaft types, selection, and ...

The process of vortex ring generation and propagation has received substantial treatment in the literature. A common ring generation geometry consists of a piston moving through tube that exits into a ...

Friction slows equipment, wears components, and renders motion profiles unpredictable. One remedy for linear-motion friction is to use air bearings to carry normally contacting components while ...
