Study of the Mechanical Behavior of a Single-Cylinder Horizontal Steam Engine with a Crosshead Trunk Guide through the Finite-Element Method

This article analyzes the mechanical behavior of a single-cylinder horizontal steam engine with a crosshead trunk guide designed by Henry Muncaster. This double-acting steam engine was incorporated as an engine in various means of locomotion, and its drawings were published in Model Engineer magazin...
