Numerical analysis of tribological characteristics for textured piston ring-liners in mixed lubrication with a non-circular cylinder bore
Piston ring packs are commonly found in the engine. It is a necessity for an engine to run smoothly. The function of the piston rings is to control the lubricant and prevent leakage. The interface of the cylinder bore with the piston rings will cause a tribology behavior. Laser Surface Texturi...

| description | Piston ring packs are commonly found in the engine. It is a necessity for an engine to run
smoothly. The function of the piston rings is to control the lubricant and prevent leakage. The
interface of the cylinder bore with the piston rings will cause a tribology behavior. Laser Surface
Texturing (LST) on the piston ring surface had shown positive results in previous studies. In this
study, we are considering the surface texturing of the piston rings in a distorted bore. Moreover, the
texturing detail on the piston ring surface is also considered by modifying the dimple size or the
micro-groove on the surface. 3D modeling software, SOLIDWORKS is used to model the piston
rings and a finite element method software called COMSOL Multiphysics is used to perform
multiple simulations to obtain the result. The result shows that the texturing of the piston ring surface
improves the tribology performance during the engine cycle. Meanwhile, for the surface texturing
details, the large lateral aspect ratio gives a negative effect. |
