摘要

A numerical approach basing on friction and lubrication analysis has been developed to determine the creep at cam/roller interface in end pivoted roller finger follower valve train. The kinematic and dynamic analysis at the geometrical mating surfaces of cam and roller follower has been carried out to predict the required instantaneous motion parameters and normal loading whereas the oil film thickness is determined using lubrication analysis. The tangential forces have been computed precisely using elastohydrodynamic and mixed lubrication concept for a complete cam cycle. At low camshaft operating speeds, the creep proves to be low whereas the creep increases significantly under the influence of high tangential loading at higher operating speeds.
