Comprehensive experiments are carried out concerning the dynamic characteristics of high speed valve trains. The experimental data are used to determine the dynamic coefficients of a combined dynamic model. The combined dynamic model is applied to predict the occurrence of the valve bounce. The simulation results show good agreement with measured valve displacements for a OHC engine.
