This paper focused on the dynamic behavior of camshaft in a direct acting type valve train system. To investigate camshaft behavior, transient vibration analysis is performed by using the transfer matrix method. The camshaft is treated as lumped mass system supported by spring and damper. Front the presented analytical model, we could predict dynamic behavior of camshaft, shaft locus within bearing and bearing load. The presented mode and results will be very helpful to design the optimal camshaft and valve train system.

To get vibration responses, a camshaft is modelled as an unbalanced multiple rotor bearing system. Because of complex geometry and complicated load conditions, the finite element method is used. After the finite element equation of the system is constructed, Newmark's method is used to get the vibration responses. Whirl vibration responses of a V-8 engine camshaft are estimated and compared with measured responses. After the fluctuating stresses are obtained, fatigue analysis is performed based upon the modified Goodman's equation. Stress concentration effects are considered. In the whirl vibration of camshafts, the bending effect is dominant, and the bending deformation is dependent upon the span length between the adjacent bearing journals. For high speeds, the fluctuations of excitation forces are large, and it is known that nonlinear time varying bearing coefficients should be used for analysis.

The wear of the contact in the tappet accounts for the greatest portion of entire friction loss of an engine, leading to the occurrence of abnormal wear. The coated specimens for earn-tappet wear test were producted by using PVD-Sputtering coating method. It examined the friction characteristics occurring between the earn and the tappet by using the dedicated wear tester and found that the friction torque value was reduced through comparison testing with the existing part when the low friction coating was applied. So application of the low friction coating to actual vehicles will reduce the fuel economy and occurrence of noise-vibration.
