Variable Valve Timing Engine
Group Memebers:
Introduction:
Internal Combustion engines have given a great contribution in the Human History. IC
engines have undergone a great development in their structure, design and the ways of
controlling different parameters like efficiency, particle and gaseous emissions. One of the
important aspect in any engine is its Valve Timing Diagram, that is, the positions at which
the engine valves open and close. For a fixed Valve Timing the engine efficiency changes
with changing engine load and speed. Hence a cam profile performing efficiently for a
particular engine speed may not be efficient for some other speed.
This puts forth the idea of having Variable Valve Timing, where the engine Valve Timing can
be changed on go, depending upon the engine load and speed by having multiple cam
profiles.
Our Idea:
Even though Variable Valve Timing is not a new concept nowadays, all those who are
utilizing this, incorporate an electronic control system which decides when to change valve
timing. Also the number of cam profiles is limited to 2-3 and are disjoint.
We propose to have a completely mechanical system with a continuous surface joining
different cam profiles.
Componets:
Spur Gear
Cam Shaft
Journal Bearing
Cam Profile
We propose to have a Governor Spring Mechanism to move the camshaft along the length
depending on different speeds.
Gear Design
Design Approach:
• Figuring Distance between Crank Shaft and Cam Shaft.
• Identifying Power Transmission Ratio and fixing the diameters of Gear and Pinion.
• Choosing the standard module and hence fixing number of teeth on both.
Calculation:
V =78.533 m/s
From the cam shaft analysis we have got the maximum value of the torque(τ) =15.6

Shaft Design
Design Approach:
Determining Net Force acting on the Cam Shaft.
Bending Moment Diagram.
Magnitude of Bending Moment at Critical Points.
Finding Location which has Maximum Bending Stress.
Using Net Force equation, we find Amplitude and Mean Bending Stress.
Determining Amplitude and Mean Shear Stress in the Region.
Using Goodman Failure Theory, we find the Factor of Safety for assumed Diameter.
We can perform few iterations if design comes out to be too conservative.
Assumptions:
At any instant, two-time varying forces will be acting on the cam shaft. One from
Inlet Valve and another from Exit Valve. We cannot determine the phase difference
between the forces analytically, as it involves Combustion of Heterogenous
Mixture. Thus, we had to make the assumption that the sum of both forces remains
constant. This seems to be a good assumption as Both the Valves have
counteraction.
Hence, Ftotal = 1500N = Constant.
Ctemp = 1 and Reliability 99%.
Calculations:
Force Balance:
𝑅𝐴 + 𝑅𝐵 = 1500𝑁
Moment Balance:
𝑅𝐴 = 241.94 + 0.677𝐹
𝑅𝐵 = 1258.06 − 0.677𝐹
Shear Force Diagram:
Bending Moment: We see that critical regions to be analysed are [7cm, 12cm], [12cm,
17cm] and [28cm, 38cm]. Bending Moment Profile is continuous in these regions and
hence we need to calculate Bending Moment only at the end points.Ma and Mmare found

Material:
The material chosen for design is Chrome Vanadium Oil Tempered and Hardened Spring
Steel(SAE 6150). This is the most popular alloy spring steel and is the most widely used one
in valve springs. Following are some of the characteristics of Chrome Vanadium wires that
make them suitable for valve springs:
The various spring parameters were studied for different wire diameters. We have written a
Matlab code to calculate these parameters with ease and tabulated the values for the same.

Assumptions:
We have designed Three cam profiles for three different engine speeds. It is
assumed that we can join these three cam profiles with a Continuous Surface so that
we shall also be able to get optimum valve timing for speeds other than the three
design speed.
The follower is assumed to be a Flat Face Follower with the Displacement Profile
being a Cycloidal Profile. The reason for choosing Cycloidal profile is that it does not
have any Jerks and hence provides a smooth movement.
The data from literature we have considered is related with Volumetric Efficiency
and the Brake Torque.
Data:
Using the literature that we went through, we have chosen the Opening and Closing of Inlet
valve with respect to the angle of Camshaft when the Piston is in its Top Dead Centre
Position.

The profile have been generated for different engine speeds using a Matlab code.
