Assessment of thermo-structural effects on EHL piston skirt lubrication

The in situ profiles of the piston skirt and cylinder bore surface are subject to thermo-elastic global deformation due to differential operating temperatures and forces1. In operation, a lubricant film is entrained into and pressurized within the gap between these profiles. This film not only suppo...
