Title: Material innovation and its impact on the development of components for reciprocating engines

Authors: D.A. Parker

Addresses: Managing Director, AE Developments Ltd., Rugby, UK

Abstract: The techniques available for the development of engine components include the use of new and improved materials and coatings, the use of specially machined shapes to give small departures from a flat or cylindrical surface and experimentally verified mathematical modelling. This article explores the developments.

Keywords: automotive components; engine components; materials innovation; vehicle design; mathematical modelling.
