Dynamic Modelling and Simulation of Swash-Plate Engine Based on Kane Method

Abstract

The swath-plate engine is an engine with high pressure air as working medium, and it is designed to meet the underwater launch. In order to explore the performance of the engine, the dynamic model is built by using the method of Kane on the basis of the kinematics and dynamic analysis of the main parts of the engine such as the pistons and links, etc. The simulation of the work process of the engine is realized by the use of the simulation program based on the dynamic model. The prototype engine is tested on the experiment system. The comparison of the experimental results and simulation results show that the dynamic simulation model is basically correct and can be used to optimize the engine design.
