A comprehensive study of the friction and dynamic motion of the piston assembly

Abstract

A mixed lubrication model based on a two-dimensional average Reynolds equation is presented in this paper. It is developed for use in conjunction with a piston secondary motion analysis. The motion has been studied and the effects of structure parameters and different profiles of piston skirts on the motion are also investigated. The friction force and power loss consisting of piston skirt friction and the friction of the piston ring pack are also given.
