Piston Displacement and Crank Angle Analysis

This document discusses the relationship between piston travel and crank rotation in an internal combustion engine. It provides equations to calculate piston displacement and displacement ratio at various crank angles based on the stroke length, connecting rod length, and crank angle. A graph is presented showing how piston displacement and displacement ratio vary sinusoidally with changing crank angle over one full engine cycle.
