The motion of a non-offset piston connected to a crank through a connecting rod (as would be found in internal combustion engines), can be expressed through several mathematical…
A closely related topic to rod ratio is that of bore and stroke. If the bore and stroke dimensions in…
Essentially, there is no “best” rod ratio for any given engine. Some say to use the longest rods that will…
Bore-Stroke Ratio is the ratio between the dimensions of the engine cylinder bore diameter to its piston stroke-length. The cylinder…
The engine’s capacity plays an important role in determining various engine outputs such as engine power, torque, and mileage. It is the volume,…
The term “cc” stands for Cubic Centimeters or simply cm³ which is a metric unit to measure the Engine’s Capacity or its…
The Mean Effective Pressure (MEP) is a theoretical parameter used to measure the performance of an internal combustion engine (ICE). Even if it…
The RMC supports several interpolation methods and options to satisfy a wide range of curve applications. Interpolation Methods The interpolation…
In engineering, simulations play a critical part in the design phase of any system. Through simulation we can understand how a system…
The load on a hydraulic cylinder (or motor) consists of these three components: (1). Normal load resistance, where fluid power…
How much power does it take to go 60 mph? 80 mph? The weight of the car and its speed…
This is the resistance a vehicle faces while attempting to move from a stall condition or while accelerating. This resistance…
