Rigid-Flexible Coupling Dynamics Analysis for a Twin-Rotor Piston Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

Twin-rotor piston engine (TRPE) is a new differential rotary engine, which is still under developing. In this paper, a rigid-flexible coupling dynamics model was established for the prototype TRPE-350. By combining the multi-body dynamics simulating software RecurDyn and the finite analysis software ANSYS, the TRPE′s performances were studied. Vibration analysis for rigid-flexible coupling model was analyzed. The simulation results can be found that the simulated overall changing trends match with the actual movement of the TRPE very well. So it provides a theoretical tool for further optimization and improvement of this engine.
