Internal combustion engines with a crankshaft have been successfully developed for many years. They are lacking in the fact that the piston trajectory, i.e., position as a function of time, is limited by the crankshaft motion law. Position-controlled electric linear machines directly coupled to the piston allow to realize free-piston engines. Unlike the crankshaft-based engines, they allow for a higher degree of freedom in shaping the piston trajectory, including adaptive compression ratios, which enables optimal operation with alternative fuels. The possibility of adapting the stroke course results in new degrees of freedom with which the combustion process can be optimized. In this work, four-stroke trajectories with different amplitudes and piston dynamics have been proposed and analyzed regarding efficiency. A simulation model was created based on experimental measurements for testing the proposed trajectories. It could be proved that the variation of the trajectory resulted in an improvement of the overall efficiency. The trajectories were described analytically so that they can be used for a prototype in a future work.
