Air-Fuel Ratio Control of a Lean Burn SI Engine Using Fuzzy Self Tuning Method %K fuzzy control %K Self Tuning %K Engine Roughness %K Air Fuel Ratio %R %X Reducing the exhaust emissions of an spark ignition engine by means of engine modifications requires consideration of the effects of these modifications on the variations of crankshaft torque and the engine roughness respectively. Only if the roughness does not exceed a certain level the vehicle do not begin to surge. This paper presents a method for controlling the air-fuel ratio for a lean burn engine. Fuzzy rules and reasoning are utilized on-line to determine the control parameters. The main advantages of this method are simple structure and robust performance in a wide range of operating conditions. A non-linear model of an SI engine with the engine torque irregularity simulation is used in this study. %U https://www.ije.ir/article_71256_d790b10c26f5c811b261dbd016143cfb.pdf
