Abstract

In this paper we study in detail problems of nonlinear oscillations of valve mechanism at internal combustion engine. The practical measurement indicates that stiffness of valve mechanism is not constant but is a function of the rotational angle of the cam. For simplicity of analysis we replace valve mechanism of internal combustion engine with a nonlinear oscillator of single degree of freedom under combined parametric and forcing excitation. We use the method of multiple scales and normal form theory to study local and global bifurcations of valve mechanism at internal combustion engine.
