Who should attend?

Audience

- Engineers and technical staff involved in the field of engines who wish to be in a position to make technical choices and components dimensioning.

Level

Advanced

This course provides participants a deeper knowledge & competencies to design and use dimensioning criteria of reciprocating piston engines, particularly those for automotive applications.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
choose the architectures of a new engine at pre-project stage: cubic inch displacement, bore-stroke ratio, cylinder head and block structures, timing drive,
select and use the adequate criteria to develop the cam laws,
use the main rules applied to block and cylinder head design,
choose materials for the main engine components and explain their selection.

Course Content

Architecture options

0.5 day

Specifications of a new engine.
Determining the main dimensions: bore, stroke, cylinder spacing, depending on the specifications: MEP characteristics and piston mean velocity on engines of the same range.
Global design process of mobile coupling system, crankcase-cylinders, cylinder head, timing.

Mobile parts dimensioning

1.5 days

Kinematics and dynamics of the mobile parts.
