Design and optimisation of cushioning structure of hydraulic free-piston engine

The velocity of the free-piston assembly (FPA) of the hydraulic free-piston engine (HFPE) is very high, which is up to 10 m/s. In order to avoid the collision of the FPA to the cylinder head when the FPA moves towards the dead centres, the cushioning device must be involved. A cushioning structure w...
