Pistons play the ultimate role in an engine, but despite that, it's still hard to fully wrap your head around all the forces involved. There are plenty of moving parts in an internal combustion engine ...

The Ferrum piston is a diesel engine piston developed at Elko over the last 20 years. Its main features are a cross head design with a cast iron crown. The paper explains the detail of the design and ...

Computer Aided Engineering system for automotive piston design was developed which can predict total piston performance in a short time at the planning stage of piston design. Many previous studies ...

If internal combustion is a war, then pistons are quite literally on the frontlines. Converting reciprocating energy into rotating force means that the four-stroke process tries to both eject the ...

Pistons are an engine-building element we like to brag about, but you won't catch many of us boasting about having cast pistons. Cast pistons are for wimps. Many of us like to talk up hypereutectic ...

In a single-cylinder engine, the ability to homogenize and maintain the fuel-air blend prior to and during the burn is a classic combustion-engine problem. Add additional cylinders, and introduce ...
