Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand the "magic" of how optimized camshafts extract the most performance from every engine component, eliminating valvetrain guesswork. Camshafts are the coach and conductor of any four-stroke engine from early flatheads to modern Formula 1. Performance engines are amazingly sensitive to how and when the valves to the combustion chamber open and close. The valvetrain configuration and flow characteristics may change significantly between applications, but the fundamental principles are universal. This allows the language, setup, dynamics, energy, and pressure aspects of a valvetrain to be covered in a way that is just as useful for optimizing a sub-15-hp go-kart engine as it is on a 500-plus-hp street engine or modern 1,500-plus-hp NHRA Pro Stock engine. In High-Performance Cams & Valvetrains: Theory, Technology, and Selection, farm kid-turned-physicist Billy Godbold combines his quarter-century of experience with valvetrains at Comp Cams, Lunati, Crane Cams, and Edelbrock along with the techniques he uses with professional teams in NASCAR, NHRA, road racing, dirt track racing, offshore racing, and land speed racing, guiding you to think about any valvetrain system with his perspective. Often lighthearted and filled with analogies, this book endeavors to make complex concepts easy to understand without ever watering down important details. Specific configurations and applications are covered, providing techniques and examples for optimizing camshafts and the valvetrain around intakes, headers, superchargers, turbochargers, fuels, carburetors, and modern EFI applications. If you are planning or building a classic hot rod (Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, etc.), modern performance (LS, Hemi, Coyote, or Godzilla), or competition engine (road racing, circle track racing, or drag racing), these practical details show you how any valvetrain system should be modified to extract the most from every component and help you achieve your unique goals.

This book was released on 1910 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of harnessing combustion to perform mechanical work is by no means anew one. The internal combustion engine, as we know it today, has its origins in the lastcentury, however the idea for controlling combustion to perform mechanical work datesback to the Renaissance. Even with the advent of alternative sources of power forcommerce and personal applications, the internal combustion engine represents a largeportion of the power generation available in this country. There are numerous types of internal combustion engines, each with a variety ofsubsystems. While all of these types and corresponding subsystems are equally important, this investigation is focused on the valve train dynamics of a pushrod type internalcombustion engine. Operating this type of engine at too high of an engine speed usuallycauses dynamic malfunctions such as spring surge, lifter/cam pair separation, valvebounce, etc. in the valve train. Although the interaction of each of the valve traincomponents contributes to the limit speed, the shape of the cam plays a critical role. Therefore, this investigation will look at how small changes in the cam profile due tomanufacturing errors change the dynamics of a valve train in a pushrod type engine. Automotive cams can be manufactured as copied or original parts. Copied partsare typically produced on a rocker type cam grinder and the original parts are produced on a computer numerical control grinder. Therefore, various errors associated with thesemanufacturing techniques are studied herein. Installing cams with profile errors in an engine may result in the dynamicmalfunction of its valve train. In order to study the effect of these profile errors, some ofthe error cam profiles that were predicted for the rocker grinder were manufactured andtested in an actual valve train. In addition, the effects of error cam profiles wereinvestigated by using an existing valve train simulation model. It was found by bothexperimentation and simulation that camshaft e.

Download or read book Introduction to Analytical Methods for Internal Combustion Engine Cam Mechanisms written by J J Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern design methods of Automotive Cam Design require the computation of a range of parameters. This book provides a logical sequence of steps for the derivation of the relevant equations from first principles, for the more widely used cam mechanisms. Although originally derived for use in high performance engines, this work is equally applicable to the design of mass produced automotive and other internal combustion engines. This work may also be applicable for cams used in other areas such as printing and packaging machinery. Introduction to Analytical Methods for Internal Combustion Engine Cam Mechanisms provides the equations necessary for the design of cam lift curves with an associated smooth acceleration curve. The equations are derived for the kinematics and kinetics of all the mechanisms considered, together with those for cam curvature and oil entrainment velocity. This permits the cam shape, all loads and contact stresses to be evaluated, and the relevant tribology to be assessed. The effects of asymmetry on the manufacture of cams for finger follower and offset translating curved followers is described, and methods for transformation of cam shape data to that for a radial translating follower are given. This permits the manufacture and inspection by a wider range of CNC machines. The calculation of unsteady camshaft torques is described and an outline given for evaluation of the components for the lower engine orders. Although the theory, use and design, of reactive pendulum dampers are well documented elsewhere, these subjects have also been considered for completeness. The final chapter presents analysis of push rod mechanisms, including a four bar chain mechanism, which is more robust Written both as a reference for practising automotive design and development Engineers, and a text book for automotive engineering students, Introduction to Analytical Methods for Internal Combustion Engine Cam Mechanisms gives readers a thorough introduction into the design of automotive cam mechanisms, including much material not previously published.
