Summary:

Until recently, the sheer enormity of manual computation has limited valve train design analysis to static models involving a few parameters. However, with today's high-speed electronic digital computers, the analyst can now perform a more comprehensive investigation.A collection of mathematical expressions, which have been formulated, tested and revised, describe some condition, characteristic or actual part of a valve train. These expressions have been encoded to form a system of computer programs which model the valve train under study. This modeling simulates the test of maximum design limits in a safe and economical manner.The success of such modeling in valve train development depends in part on the validity of the model concept and its symbolic representation. The development of a valid model is enhanced by the speed embodied in computer- aided procedures to conduct tests, analyze test data and present summary information.The subject matter of this paper encompasses the nature and use of this model, explains how the model provides a better understanding of causal relations in the valve train, and presents a representative computer output used for analysis and summary purposes
