Figure 7
Illustration of the multi-peak fitting result together with the fitting error shown by the bottom curve. CAD schematic representation of the engine assembly cross section, with the point where the diffraction measurement was taken highlighted in red. It shows the 65° azimuthal positioning of the cylinder with respect to the laboratory coordinates. At 0° of crankshaft rotation (TDC) the perpendicular strain direction on the con-rod is parallel to the cylinder. For that reason the spectrum collected from channel No. 8 of the Ge detector (at 65.4° azimuthal angle) was used for the determination of strain along the reciprocating motion direction. |
