Damage Accumulation During High Temperature Testing of a Squeeze Formed Aluminum Piston Alloy

Durability and reliability in diesel engine system design

“…The calculation of piston temperature distribution was conducted theoretically by Woschni (1979) and numerically by Wu and Chiu (1986). For more information on diesel engine piston structural calculation, design, fatigue life, material, and durability analysis, the reader is referred to the following: Makartchouk (2002), Munro (1999), Spengler and Young (1986), Myers (1990), Keribar et al (1990), Afonso et al (1991), Myers and Chi (1991), Castleman (1993), Vertin et al (1993), Barnes and Lades (2002), Reichstein et al (2007) and Cha et al (2009).…”

Advanced lubrication systems and materials. Final report

“…The assessment consisted of literature reviews, one-on-one discussions with engine designers, component developers, materials suppliers, and engine manufacturers. In addition, a threeday intensive workshop was held on September [21][22][23]1992 at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. The attendees of the workshop were industrial experts specifically invited to attend the workshop.…”

“…The use of light weight metals in engine parts is increasing. A favorite component area is the piston (21)(22)(23)(24)(25) to reduce inertia effects; however, other components such as valves, connecting rods, and oil pans have been suggested (26-28). These light weight metals are difficult to lubricate, are erosion prone, and may have much higher wear rates and lower load capacity.…”
