Abstract

The main purpose of this work is the numerical and experimental analysis of an innovative negative free deformation pressure balance. The numerical prediction of the pressure distortion coefficient, the piston fall rates, the piston-cylinder elastic distortions is achieved through the Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical results are compared to the experimental values.
