Looking into a laser textured piston ring-liner contact

Cavitation induced starvation for piston-ring/liner tribological conjunction

The study investigates the mechanism of ring-liner lubrication in the vicinity of the top and bottom dead centres of an internal combustion engine. Predicting lubricant transient behaviour is critical when the inlet reversal leads to thin films and inherent metal-to-metal interaction. It was found that the cavitation, which is located at the trailing edge of the contact before reversal, briefly...

Propagation of Uncertainty in Optimal Design of Multilevel Systems: Piston-Ring/Cylinder-Liner Case Study

This paper proposes an approach for optimal design of multilevel systems under uncertainty. The approach utilizes the stochastic extension of the analytical target cascading formulation. The reliability of satisfying the probabilistic constraints is computed by means of the most probable point method using the hybrid mean value algorithm. A linearization technique is employed for estimating the...

Study on Identification Model of Cylinder Liner-Piston Ring Using Vibration Analysis Based on Fuzzy C-means Clustering

Diesel engines have been widely used in various engineering applications. The performance of diesel engines is influenced greatly by the operation condition of the cylinder liner-piston ring. It is therefore crucial to investigate and assess the working condition of the cylinder liner-piston ring. Literature review indicated that there are few studies on this issue. Therefore, this study propos...
