Abstract: In this work, a simplified kinetic model of the SO3 generation reaction is proposed with a test diesel engine, and the semikinetic model was further developed and applied to predict the acid dew point (ADP) temperature. ...

Abstract: In this paper, a fretting damage model based on fractal theory is proposed. The Weierstrass–Mandelbrot function of fractal theory is used to represent the rough contact surface, and a corresponding contact parameter analysis ...

Abstract: The increasingly stringent NOx emission regulations of the International Marine Organization (IMO) have demanded new design concepts and architectures for diesel engines. The Miller cycle, which reduces the incylinder ...

Abstract: In this paper, the flattening process of a coated single asperity by a rigid flat is studied based on a two-dimensional finite element model under different contact interferences. The soft coating and hard substrate materials ...

Abstract: Composite pistons are often used in heavy duty diesel engines due to its good reliability and durability. Owing to the alternating loads, fretting wear usually happens on the mating surfaces between piston crown and skirt. ...
