This paper present the contact stresses, which considers the shear stress at the cam and follower interface in the direct acting type valve train system of a high speed engine. To determine the contact condition, the normal contact forces are calculated by using the lumped mass dynamic modeling. The line contact is considered between the cam and follower interface. The variations of dynamic stresses are presented as a function of camshaft rotational angle. Also the effects of various design parameters are investigated.

It is well known that reduction of friction loss due to the valve train system greatly affects on improvement of fuel economy in internal combustion engine. In order to investigate friction characteristics of valve train system we carried out friction force measurement using test rig developed by ourselves. From test results, we concluded that characteristics of lubrication and friction torque on the valve train system such as mixed and hydrodynamic was mainly governed the contact type between cam and tappet.

The technique for measuring the rotational speed of tappet in direct acting type valve train system has been developed. The optic signal monitoring system with laser and optic fiber was designed to follow the signal of tappet rotation. The system was based on ON/OFF signal generation from the additional encoder teeth under the tappet with optic fibers attached photo transistor. The data showed that tappet rotation was affected by offset, oil temperature and cam shaft operating speed. Also it was found that tappet rotation increases with oil temperature. Tappet spin was delayed 10∼s20$^{\circ}$ cam angle after valve opening. The instantaneous rotational speed of tappet was reciprocal to cam shaft speed and the tappet and the cam angle ratio was located in the range of 0.1∼0.3.

최근의 자동차엔진에서 사용되는 윤활유에는 여러 가지 첨가물이 사용된다. 특히 고분자량 폴리머계의 점도 지수 향상제를 윤활유의 원유에 첨가함으로써 온도 증가에 따른 점도 불안정성을 방지하는 다등급 윤활유 성격을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 고분자량 폴리머계의 첨가물은 고온의 엔진 운전 조건에서 윤활유의 점도 안정성을 보장해줌에도 불구하고 엔진 부품들의 정상적인 운동 속도에서도($1-^6 S^{-1}$) 고 전단 변형율 속도로 인하여 유막 감소 효과를 발생 시킨다. 또한 이 첨가제들은 엔진 부품의 마찰 표면에 큰 전단 응력을 지닌 끈끈한 형태의 경계막을 형성한다. 고분자량 폴리머계의 점도 지수 향상제에 대한 예기치 못한 영향은 유막 감소 효과로 인하여 엔진 부품간의 마모를 증가 시키고 점도의 감소로 마찰을 감소 시키는 반면 경계막으로 인하여 고체면이 보호를 받는데 있다. 이러한 유막 형성의 물리적인 개념에 대하여 고체면의 끈끈한 경계막의 존재 효과와 두 경계막 사이에서 일어나는 유막 감소 효과를 표현할 수 있는 현실적인 해석의 필요성이 제기된다. 본 연구는 최근에 많이 쓰이고 있는 점도 향상제가 첨가된 윤활유가 자동차 밸브 트레인 시스템에서 유막 형성에 미치는 영향을 마찰 효율과 마모 방지의 입장에서 고찰하였다.

Numerical analysis for valve train dynamics of an internal combustion engine is presented. The components of the valve train are modeled by finite element techniques, and the dynamic contacts between the components are analyzed by the solution strategies of differential algebraic equations. Also an iterative scheme similar to the augmented Lagrange multiplier method is employed to enforce the contact constraints. It is shown that the contact and separation between the components of the valve train can be computed by the finite element techniques, and the numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the solution.

Mechanical tappet is used to reduce the cost and friction loss compared with hydraulic tappet. But the mechanical tappet doesn't have the ability to control the clearance between cams and valves and is selected by measuring the distance between valves and cams in order to minimize the clearance of valves by considering thermal expansion of valves. So, the valve clearance is nearly zero after fully warming-up periods, but there is valve clearance before warming-up. Especially at cold condition, the clearance is relatively large and can bring about some problems. In this study, the valve motions like lift, velocity, seating velocity and bouncing height were studied at various valve clearance conditions by experiment and analysis. As the valve clearance increases, the ramp area becomes shorten and it causes the valve train motion to have bad effects.

Rotation of intake and exhaust valves are very closely related to the long term durability of automotive engines. If the valves do not rotate even at a rated engine speed, it causes the uneven wear of the valve seat and valve head contact area, which eventually shortens the engine life. A principle of valve rotation mechanism was presumed based on some findings from experiments, and computer programs were developed to simulate the valve rotation phenomena. In this study we investigated the valve rotation mechanism by using the computer simulation models.

This paper introduces the development of the analysis and design program of valve train system. In order to verify the stability of design and improve the performance of system efficiently, it is required that integrated and interactive simulation program. The presented program is developed in the base of the object-oriented, capsulation, modulization, OLE (objected linking and embedding) and various design theory. It contains the expandability and flexibility of the structure. In addition to that, it is programmed to make the convenient user interface by using the visualization programming. This program can support the modification of the valve element as well as the development of the valve train system in the beginning of design. It is expected to save the cost and time for the design of valve train system.

In this study, the effects of intake valve closing timing by using Cam-in-Cam system on combustion and emission characteristics for diesel engine were investigated under GT-POWER simulation environment. As a result, it was found that volumetric efficiency and effective compression ratio were decreased as the intake valve closing(IVC) timing is retarded due to its backflow effect. Also, we found that in-cylinder pressure, heat release rate and NOx emission were decreased as IVC timing was retarded. These show that the LIVC(late intake valve closing) can be effective to control AFR and mixing rate in diffusion combustion of diesel engine.
