In the case of engine bearings, pressure in a cylinder is necessary for the analysis of lubrication. In this study, a cycle simulation of gasoline engines has been developed to predict the pressure in a cylinder under the wide range of engine operation. In the cycle simulation, intake and exhaust processes are included and combustion process is calculated with flame propagation based on burning velocity. The pressure in the cylinder is introduced into the bearing analysis to calculate the load on the bearing in addition to the inertia force. Orbital movement, minimum oil film thickness, and power loss in the bearing are estimated. This method may be useful on an engine design.
