Optimization of the parameters of the piston pin bearing of the tractor engine taking into account the solution of the lubrication problem

Abstract

The task of the investigation is to make the model, the algorithm, the program and the results of the calculations of optimization of the parameters of the bearing sliding of piston pin of the internal-combustion engine. An approximate mathematical model of dynamically loaded bearings of a piston pin of the internal-combustion engine was built up with the account of calculation methods of the statically loaded sliding bearings. The approximate mathematical model describes the relationship of output parameters of bearings of piston pin the operational and structural factors. The model is based on the method of M.V..Korovchinskiy of hydrodynamic calculation of statically loaded sliding bearings. The solution of optimization task was performed with the help of the author’s program in MATLAB environment. The optimization was produced by using the gradient release method. At each iteration a step was calculated in the condition of minimum of the function of the independent variable. The program of the calculation is a finished product and it can be used at the designing of the bearings of sliding engines.
