Numerical Study of Power Loss and Lubrication of Connecting Rod Big-End

A hydrodynamic lubrication analysis for connecting rod big-end bearing is conducted. The effects of engine speed, operating condition, lubricant viscosity and oil temperature on tribological performance of big-end bearing have been examined. Force equilibrium is solved to define instantaneous eccent...
