Shock in Valve Mechanisms of Internal Combustion Engines: A Detailed Examination of Valve Motion with Practical Conclusions Based on Theoretical Considerations

Abstract

THE evolution of internal combustion engines proceeds steadily ahead, with unceasing improvement in all parts. One group of details, which is most subjected to research, is the valve mechanism, controlling the passage of gases through the cylinder. It is the main purpose of valves to allow the maximum volume of gases in a unit time to flow through the intake and exhaust pipes and to assure the highest possible output of the engine.
