Purpose
– This paper aims to study the effect of piston skirt design parameters on the dynamic characteristics of a piston–cylinder contact.
Design/methodology/pproach
– This paper focuses on an analysis of the piston dynamic response. The oil-film pressure and the structural deformation were approximated, respectively, by finite difference method and finite element method.
Findings
– The results show that the design parameters such as clearance, offset and the axial location of piston pin have a great influence on the dynamics of the piston and hence on the piston slap phenomenon and the frictional power loss.
Originality/value
– All the results mainly focus on the slap noise of the engine and can be used in the piston–liner development at the development of the engine.
