The CASE (Cylinder Kit
Analysis System for Engines) Analysis System is a computer model which
formalizes a structured approach for the analysis and design of pistons, rings,
and other cylinder components. It is composed of a library of individual
programs which provide results that are useful in designing a cylinder kit
component or evaluating the performance of a particular cylinder kit
configuration.
CASE has a twofold
purpose. First, a number of programs have been developed for analysis and design
purposes. Extensive documentation is provided and includes source code listings
of all programs. Second, the structured approach allows researchers to develop
new programs as new technologies become available. Many of the subroutines in
the system can be incorporated in a new program thus allowing
researchers/programmers to concentrate their efforts on their specific
contribution. In addition, the standardization of input, output and
documentation procedures should encourage usage of new developments in the
public domain.
