Abstract: Modern data analysis techniques has been successfully applied in many technical disciplines to understand the complexity of the system. The growing volume of theoretical knowledge about systems dynamic's offered researchers the opportunity to look for non-linear dynamics in data whose evolution linear models are unable to explain in a satisfactory manner. One of the most recent approach in this respect is Recurrence Analysis - RA. It is a graphical method designed to locate hidden recurring patterns, nonstationarity and structural changes. RA approach have first been applied in natural sciences like physics and biology. Quickly, was adopted in economics and engineering. Meanwhile, the fast development of computer resources has provided powerful tools to perform this new and complex model. One free software which we used to perform the analysis is Visual Recurrence Analysis - VRA developed by Eugene Kononov. As is presented in this paper, the recurrence plot investigation for the analyzing of the gasoline engine shows some of the its capabilities in this domain. We chose two specific engine parameters measured in two different tests to perform the RPA. These parameters are ignition angle and engine angular speed. There were computed graphs for each of them. Graphs were analyzed and compared to obtain a conclusion. This work is an incipient research, being one of the first attempt of using recurrence plot for analyzing automotive dynamics. It opens a wide field of action for future research programs.

Abstract: Intake port is an important part of the gasoline engine, its structure will influence the gas flow characteristics which directly affects the performance of the engine [1]. In this paper, three-dimensional CFD calculation and structural optimization were used to research the performance of gasoline engine. Firstly, the method of laser scanning and UG software were used to reverse modeling engine exhaust port and get the three-dimensional model. Secondly, after setting boundary conditions and turbulence models, the air flowing through the intake ports were simulated by FLUENT software respectively. Finally, based on numerical methods, the pressure field, velocity field were shown. The results of the simulation of flow field characteristics analysis show that the simulation and experimental results are in good agreement.

Abstract: A study on the method of estimating gasoline engine radiated noise by measuring surface vibration is carried out. Firstly, the theoretical basis and test method is studied. Then an experiment is carried out on a four-cylinder gasoline engine. By measuring the engine surface vibration velocity, the sound power level of these engine parts and of the engine body is calculated. The result shows that the estimation of engine radiated noise is accurate. It shows the sound power level of gasoline engine can be predicted by surface vibration.

Abstract: In order to promote development and propose effective method for small electronically controlled engine system, a electronically controlled ignition system was designed in this paper. Freescale MC9S12XEP100 is chosen as MCU, control strategy was defined with MC33812 to pre-drive ignition. At last, 168F engine is adopted as original machine, optimum ignition advance angle was calibrated, related correction paraments and formulas were defined. Bench experiments results shows that power performance, fuel consumption and emission performance are promoted and improved significantly after the designed ignition system was adopted.

Abstract: The coupling simulation model of a gasoline engine’s working process and muffler is established by GT-Power software, and related data are obtained by simulation calculation. It is found that the calculating results are consistent with the actual data, which validates the correctness of this simulation model. Through the analysis processing of the coupling simulation model, it is put forward an improved case for the exhaust muffler in this paper. Based on a local optimization, the simulation results show that the insertion loss of muffler has improved markedly, the exhaust noise values decreased and indicated power engine remain basically unchanged.

Abstract: As an important technological means for engines’ low emission with high efficiency, variable valve agency is widely applied in the new-type machine’s R&D and the old-type machine’s modification. This paper applies AVL BOOST one-dimensional simulation software to the working process of the small displacement electronic control gasoline engine and proceeds with the analog simulating calculation. The data error between the calculated result and the original experiment one is less than 5%, so the calculation precision meets the requirements. As formulating simulation study programs and analyzing the valve timing parameters’ impact on the low-emission electronic control gasoline engine’s performances, this paper finds the intake duration angle, the exhaust advance angle, and the valve overlap, all receive big impacts; the original machine’s valve timing optimizes the treatment of working conditions with high speed while sacrificing the power performance of low-speed working conditions. On this basis, this paper designs the variable valve mechanism, and improves the original machine’s medium-and-low rotating speed’s torque by 10% or so.

Abstract: Due to the fact that it is generally difficult to accurately calculate the nonlinear section of flow characteristics curve of small injection pulse width of electronic control injector, it is impossible for electronic control unit (ECU) to accurately control fuel injection quantity when the small engine such as motorcycle is under a working condition of idle speed or small load. This paper introduces the principle and method to make a fitting for flow characteristics of nonlinear section in the developed software system in details. Take the electronic control injector of motorcycle as an example, the programming method combined with LabVIEW and MATLAB is utilized to make a fitting treatment for accurate fuel injection quantity obtained via measuring single-chip microcomputer through Smoothing Spline method, so as to obtain the flow characteristics of small injection pulse width and normal injection pulse width of electronic control injector of motorcycle.
