Abstract | Previous modelling and numerical simulation has determined that potential exists to improve the low load efficiency of spark ignition engines through the application of variable compression ratio (VCR) in conjunction with other engine control technology. A large proportion of the potential efficiency gains can be achieved using a stepped change in compression ratio. One mechanism that can achieve this is an eccentric bush (eccentric) operated in the big-end of the connecting-rod. The natural dynamics associated with the motion of the crankshaft and connecting rod can potentially move the eccentric in the required manner. The present work aims to identify whether this is a practical means to shift the position of the eccentric. Matlab simulations of the dynamic performance of the eccentric in |
