Simultaneous and Approximate Analyses of Engine Bearings : Connecting Rod Big End Bearings and Piston Pin Bearings

Abstract

In this paper, a simultaneous analysis and eight approximate analyses are proposed for piston pin boss bearings, connecting small and big end bearings, and main bearings. Bearing performance such as journal orbits of these bearings are calculated by these nine analyses and compared. Approximate analyses for connecting rod big end bearings and piston pin bearings are established.
