Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of In-Plane Dynamics of Thin Compression Rings on Friction in Internal Combustion Engines
TL;DR: In this article, the ring in-plane modal dynamics and mixed-hydrodynamic regime of lubrication are considered. But the ring-bore conformance is not considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Transient Three-Dimensional Tribodynamics of Internal Combustion Engine Top Compression Ring
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive integrated transient elasto-tribodynamic analysis of the compression ring to cylinder lintern and its retaining piston groove lands' conjunctions is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Effect of compression ring elastodynamics behaviour upon blowby and power loss
Christopher E. Baker,Ramin Rahmani,Ioannis Karagiannis,Stephanos Theodossiades,Homer Rahnejat,Alan Frendt +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of gas blowby on the compression ring's tribological response and the ring's dynamic motion within its retaining groove was investigated. But, the authors did not consider the impact of blowby effects within the ring pack.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Effect of Transient In-Plane Dynamics of the Compression Ring Upon Its Tribological Performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the transient in-plane dynamics of incomplete compression rings are introduced in the analysis and verified using a finite element analysis (FEA) model, in order to address this shortcoming.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Analytical Evaluation of Fitted Piston Compression Ring: Modal Behaviour and Frictional Assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the in-situ ring shape was determined analytically by assuming a series of quasi-static steps in which the balance between ring tension and pressure induced forces with the instantaneous contact force is assumed, and the resulting ring shape yields the ring-bore gap, allowing the determination of frictional losses for a given bore out-of-roundness and surface topography.
