Abstract
The minimum oil film thickness in a dynamically loaded connecting-rod, big-end bearing of a high-speed gasoline engine has been studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical calculations were carried out for both rigid and elastic bearings. The theory is also used to explore the effects on the experimental results of a mechanical scissor linkage and of the assumption that there is no distortion or cavitation. Comparisons are made between the theory and. experiment of the effects of crankshaft speed and lubricant viscosity.
