Numerical Investigation of the Cavitation Damage in a High Performance Engine Conrod Big End Bearing via a Mass-conserving Complementarity Algorithm

摘要

During the last decades, the internal combustion engine performance has constantly increased. At the same time, there has been a growing emphasis on the aspects related to the efficiency and reliability of engine components. The above targets can be satisfied only through a constant improvement of the design and optimization process of internal combustion engines.
