Computer Aided Engineering system for automotive piston design was developed which can predict total piston performance in a short time at the planning stage of piston design. Many previous studies ...

Pistons play the ultimate role in an engine, but despite that, it's still hard to fully wrap your head around all the forces involved. There are plenty of moving parts in an internal combustion engine ...

Piston slap is a problem that plagues many engines. One of the most difficult aspects of designing to eliminate piston slap is that slight differences in operating conditions and in part geometries ...

Tenneco. has been granted a patent for a piston designed for internal combustion engines. The piston features a crown and skirt with friction-reducing coatings and strategically arranged depressions, ...

A new design in engine pistons is increasing fuel efficiency and reducing particulate matter in Volvo Trucks North America’s heavy-duty D11 and D13 engines, the company said. The patented “wave” ...

As hard-chrome plating has fallen out of favor, hydraulic-cylinder manufacturers have developed alternative coatings and platings. Here is how they affect seal performance and life. • Hard-chrome ...

Pistons are an engine-building element we like to brag about, but you won't catch many of us boasting about having cast pistons. Cast pistons are for wimps. Many of us like to talk up hypereutectic ...

Lift Aviation, the new owner of German light aircraft manufacturer Flight Design, is hoping to relaunch development of the C4 piston-single and is seeking partners to help finance and manufacture the ...
