Compression tests are used to characterize various compressive properties such as the compression modulus and compressive strength. They are performed on fiber-reinforced composites with ...

We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...

Previous studies have shown that increase compression ratio (CR) is an effective way to improve thermal efficiency of gasoline engine without changing the mechanical structure and working cycle, ...

Diesel engines do their hardest work in the toughest jobs, from highway semis to construction equipment, and the reason they ...

A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

You've heard the term compression ratio before, but have you ever wondered exactly what it means? Well, it's time to explain exactly what compression ratio is, and why every carmaker is now obsessed ...
