Abstract
A logical way to preserve the natural resources and lowering the pollution level is the improving of the thermal engine efficiency in order to reduce the fuel consumption. Considering the weight factor of the spark ignition engine in automotive market, the authors propose a combined solution to improve the performances of this thermal engine. First, in order to improving the combustion efficiency, we are trying to obtain a closer approach to the ideal constant volume combustion cycle, specific to the spark ignition engine, by developing a variable sequential ratio engine. Secondarily, by modifying the architecture of the compression ring, the theoretical model developed allows the determination of a new transversal profile of the compression ring in order to obtain better lubrication conditions, to lower friction ware and increase the mechanical efficiency. This theoretical and experimental study regards the both modification of these parameters in various situations, aiming at the optimization of this environmental friendly propulsion engine.

Fatigue Degradation of Materials as a Tool for Damage Assessment
Damage assessment of components or systems is strongly related to the way components fail. Thus, an appropriate understanding of failure degradation of components is necessary. Furthermore, most of the failures are relat...
