A Study on the Elastohydrodynanic Lubrication Analysis and the Modification of the Roller Profile in the Cam-Roller of the Valve Mechanism for a Marine Diesel Engine
박용디젤기관 밸브기구용 캠-롤러 사이의 탄성유체윤활해석 및 롤러 형상 수정에 관한 연구
Abstract
In this study, a numerical procedure to analyze 3-dimensional unsteady elastohydrodynamic lubrication was developed. The procedure was applied to the actual cam and roller follower of the valve mechanism for a marine diesel engine. The pressure distribution between the cam and roller follower was calculated for the several cam rotating angles. The pressure spike is shown near the roller edge and it is getting higher as the external load is increased. The roller profile for reducing the pressure spike was suggested by the Hertzian contact analysis.
