Multiaxial Fatigue Behavior of Cylinder Head for a Free Piston Linear Engine

Analysis of Tubular-type Linear Generator for Free-Piston Engine

Tubular-type linear generator for the free-piston engine is anlayzed using finite element method and its characteristics are explaind. Magnetic characteristics of the linear generator are calculated using the finite element method and various structures are considered to achieve the lowest detent force within the rated voltage. The path of the magnetic flux is constructed by the axially magneti...

Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Life Assessment of a Diesel Engine Piston

Stable Operation and Electricity Generating Characteristics of a Single-Cylinder Free Piston Engine Linear Generator: Simulation and Experiments

We present a novel design of a single-cylinder free piston engine linear generator (FPELG) incorporating a linear motor as a rebound device. A systematic simulation model of this FPELG system was built containing a kinematic and dynamic model of the piston and mover, a magneto-electric model of the linear generator, a thermodynamic model of the single-cylinder engine, and a friction model betwe...

Aircraft Piston Engine Fault Detection Based on Uniformity of Cylinder Head, Exhaust Gas and Turbochargers Temperatures

Piston engines are effective solution for providing general aviation aircrafts with a small power at acceptable operating and maintenance costs. However, they lack the reliability of turbine engines. Graphic engine monitors may increase operational reliability of piston engines by providing necessary data for the proper engine operation and maintenance. They display and record numerous engine p...
