Abstract: The piston secondary motion of internal combustion (IC) engine has direct influence on the clap of piston against the cylinder, the generated noise and the lubrication, friction and wear of piston skirt-cylinder liner frictional conjunction. In current analysis of the piston secondary motion for IC engine, the piston skirt-cylinder liner frictional pair is usually supposed to be lubricated sufficiently in all strokes of an operating cycle of engine. In fact, the status of sufficient lubrication of this frictional pair may not be guaranteed by the actual quantity of lubricating oil at entrance during the piston upstroke. In this paper, a four-stroke IC engine is taken as the studying object, the performance of the piston secondary motion is analyzed based on the model of piston motion, the model of fluid lubrication, the model of asperity contact and the model of lubricating oil flow. The results show that compared with the current analysis in which the sufficient lubrication in all strokes is assumed, the performance of the piston secondary motion(displacement and velocity at top and bottom of piston skirt) is changed obviously when the lubrication status of the frictional pair during the piston upstroke is determined by the actual transport of lubricating oil.
