posted on 2018-10-25, 09:58 authored by Peter R. WagstaffThis investigation of the design and performance of high-speed spring
loaded cam systems attempts to relate the design technique to a more
realistic model of the system. The testing of the validity of experimental
and analytical results is also a requirement that has received particular
attention. Where appropriate, experimental, analytical and design
techniques are examined in a more general way. The starting point of this
work is the author's study of pushrod operated valve gear in an automobile
engine. Investigations have been continued on a variety of
engines, all having the basic common factor of a controlling valve spring.
The results are therefore particularly relevant to this class of system
and appropriate to the types of motion controls required to operate
automobile valves efficiently.
