Pistons and engine testing
The ever-increasing demands placed on combustion engines are just as great when it comes to this centerpiece - the piston. Achieving less weight or friction, or even greater wear resistance, requires in-depth knowledge of the processes taking place inside

Preface
Dear readers, The second volume of the MAHLE Knowledge Base, a series of technical books, is both a broader and a more in-depth companion to the first volume, “Cylinder components.” In this volume, MAHLE specialists share their broad, extensive technical knowledge on the subject of the piston, its design, layout, and testing. The many illustrations, graphs, and tables provide a vivid visual overview of the subject, making your work in this area easier every day. Never before have the requirements that international legislation and customers place on modern engines, and therefore on the piston, been so great, and sometimes so contradictory. That is why you will find so many details about the piston—its function, requirements, different types, design guidelines—as well as about simulating operational durability with finite element analysis, about piston materials, piston cooling, and component testing. Engine testing, however, is still the most important element in the component development program, as is the validation of new simulation programs and systematic development of design specifications. Learn more about it here—with the scientific depth and meticulousness you expect— in the extensive chapter on “Engine testing.” This second volume of the technical books series is, once again primarily directed to the engineers and scientists in the areas of development, design, and maintenance of engines. However, professors and students in the subjects of mechanical engineering, engine technology, thermodynamics, and vehicle construction, as well as any
