This work studies the influence of the cross-hatching groove parameters on a model piston ring load carrying capacity. Over 2000 transient calculations were performed varying all parameters (groove depth, groove width, groove angle, and the distance between cross-overs) to obtain the average load carrying capacity.It is shown that the load carrying capacity results fall close to a single master curve when using the Á parameter that is a combination of the groove parameters. Finally, the influence of the starvation level on load carrying capacity was analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
