Abstract
The contact between the cam and follower that exists in the valve strain system of IC engine influences wear. The dynamic analysis of cam and follower system in carried to find the normal compressive force for various cam rotational angles. Based on this compressive force on the cam, the hertz contact stresses and surface wear are calculated theoretically. Finite element analysis was carried out in the three critical portions of the cam such as cam nose region, cam tangent region and cam base circle region to compare the results. The results showed that cam rotational angle directly affects the contact pressure. The max contact pressure occurs in the nose end of the cam. The results showed that principle stress and wear also increases with cam rotational angle
