Abstract

A nonlinear model of the piston with reciprocating, lateral and rotational degree of freedom is developed to investigate the piston secondary motion and the induced vibration behavior of the engine block by the piston slap. The model parameters are obtained from mobility measurement. The gap between the piston skirt and the cylinder liner is modeled as a translational hard stop which is the nonlinear component in the model. The value of the friction coefficient between the piston ring and the cylinder liner is determined by correlating the experimental data with the friction force equation. During the piston slap on the cylinder liner, the high damping coefficient and stiffness of the translational hard stop are added to the equation for the piston secondary motion. The model is validated by experimental data obtained from three laser displacement sensors which capture the distinct modes of the piston secondary motion directly from the piston assembly under motorized conditions. The predicted trend of the piston secondary motion and the vibration response of cylinder block are appropriate and compare well with the measured results.
