A model of elastohydrodynamic lubrication of reciprocating engine piston skirts was developed in the context of a simulation of piston secondary motions. The piston secondary dynamics, skirt lubrication and skirt elastic deformation problems are simultaneously solved in the calculation. The model can represent both conventional and two-piece articulated pistons and also includes a treatment of wrist pin lubrication. Skirt deformations are calculated using a skirt compliance matrix derived from a finite element model of the piston. The model exercised to calculate piston secondary motions and skirt deformations for a heavy-duty truck diesel piston at various operating conditions. Results show that peak skirt radial deformations can exceed the skirt-liner radial clearance and depend strongly on load. Articulated piston skirt deformations were shown to be significantly larger than those in conventional piston skirts.

Development of an external ballistics simulation software
Körpe, Serkan Berkay; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013)
A fully automatic external ballistic CFD analysis software is developed in C++ for the purpose of acquiring instant aerodynamic properties, particularly pressure based drag coefficient during the free flight of any intended flat based or boat tailed projectile. To eliminate any dependency on other commercial or third party software, a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis code is developed for the entire analysis process including a three-dimensional geometry modeler and surface mesh...
A Comprehensive Model of Piston Skirt Lubrication
KERİBAR, Rıfat; Dursunkaya, Zafer (1992-01-01)
This paper describes a comprehensive model of piston skirt lubrication, developed for use in conjunction with piston secondary dynamic analysis, to accurately characterize the effects of the skirt-cylinder oil film on piston motions. The model represents both hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication modes and applies an asperity contact pressure when surfaces are in close proximity with each other. In addition to skirt dimensions and surface roughness properties, the circumferential extent of lubrication, an a...
Nonlinear dynamic analysis of a drivetrain composed of cylindrical gears, straight and spiral bevel gears
Yavuz, Şiar Deniz; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Sarıbay, Zihni Burçay; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
A nonlinear dynamic model of a drivetrain composed of spur, helical and spiral bevel gears is proposed. Gear shafts are modeled by using Timoshenko beam finite element method and mesh models of gear pairs are used to couple them. Dynamic model includes the flexibilities of bearings as well. Gear backlash and time variation of mesh stiffness are incorporated into the mesh model. Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) with multiple harmonics is applied on the system of nonlinear differential equations in order to obta...
Experimental Determination and Analytical Model of Friction Torque of a Double Row Roller Slewing Bearing
Dindar, Ahmet; Akkök, Metin; Çalışkan, Mehmet (2017-03-01)
In this paper, investigation on the friction torque of a double row roller slewing bearing which is operated in the azimuth axis of a gun turret is performed. For this purpose, a friction measurement test setup is designed and friction torque measurements are conducted. Tests are performed at low speeds and various loading conditions. Friction sources are decoupled and examined separately in order to fully understand effect of each component on friction torque of the slewing bearing. Therefore, friction cau...
