This paper introduces a new variable valve actuation mechanism with movable second cam center. Valve lift and open duration can be continuously varied according to engine speed and load conditions. A new method to analyze the kinematic relations between the first and second cam profiles and valve motion are also introduced. Because of rocker motion of the second cam, conventional motion conversion program could not be used in this problem. An example shows continuous variations of valve motion and adequate ramp incorporation throughout all valve lift modes. Valve acceleration profile at the high lift mode is similar to that of conventional valvetrains. Contact geometry analysis of the mechanism gives basic information on the load conditions between the components.

The purpose of this paper was to present a model analysis-based design process and verification results for the high-lift control system of aircraft. For this, we used Matlab/Simulink, one of the most widely-used physical modeling tools. The high-lift control system can be divided into three domains. (i.e., Electronic control domain, Hydraulic actuation domain, and Mechanical power transmission domain) Based on this division, we modeled each of the major domains and sub-components, and integrated them to complete the complicated system model. During the development process, each model block was tuned by referring to the results of pre-test and parts acceptance tests. As a result, the entire performance model and the developed system were completely verified, through unit components and system integrated performance tests. Finally, we summarize the process and results applied to the design process of high-lift control system and present future work.
