. or /.orFuel typesystemOutputoutput40–225 bhp (29.8–167.8 kW)ChronologyPredecessorSuccessorThis B18 is a 1.8 litres (1,778 cc) produced by from 1961 through 1968. The engine had (OHV) operated. The rode in five, making the B18 quite different in design from its predecessor, the three-bearing. A larger 2.0 litres (1,986 cc) version called the B20 appeared in 1969.These engines are reputed to be very durable. The world's highest mileage car, a 1966, traveled more than 4,890,993 km (3,039,122 mi) on its original B18 engine.Despite their OHV and pushrod design, the engines can rev to 6,500 rpm.
Volvo B18 engineThe B18 displaced 1.8 L; 108.5 cu in (1,778 cc), with a bore of 84.14 mm (3.31 in) and stroke of 80 mm (3.15 in). The engine was used in Volvo's, and series. The B18 could also be found in the and the military vehicles. It was fitted to many systems. It was also used in the Facel III and the.There are four variations of this engine:. B18A: 8.5:1-8.7:1 compression.
Single version. 75 bhp (55.9 kW). B18B: 9.5:1-10:1 compression. Dual carburetor version. 100 and 115 bhp (74.6 and 85.8 kW) SAE with a higher, fitted variously with dual sidedraft or /. B18C: single carburetor version. 40 bhp (29.8 kW) SAE with a lower compression ratio and 2500 RPM mechanical regulator, fitted in the gasoline powered versions of the 320.
This version was also used for the elevator in the PS-15 radar system. B18D: 8.5:1-8.7:1 compression. Dual SU carburetor version. 90 and 95 bhp (67.1 and 70.8 kW) SAEDOHC In 1971 Swedish engineer Gunnar Axelsson developed a cylinder head for the B18 engine family. This cylinder head was used in competition Volvos for several years. On 1 January 2014 the Grainger & Worrall company announced that they had partnered with Axelsson to reproduce the DOHC head for the B18 engine.
Power output of the base engine was expected to be 190 bhp (141.7 kW), while a high-output version developing 225 bhp (167.8 kW) would also be available.B36. Main article:In 1952 Volvo unveiled the concept car powered by a 3.6 litre that would later be called the B36.
The V8 engine had exactly the same bore and stroke dimensions as the four-cylinder B18, leading some to suggest that the B18 is one-half of the V8. Significant differences between the two engines included the fact that while the cylinder heads on the V8 are, the four cylinder has both intake and exhaust ports on the same side. This suggests that the engines are for the most part separate designs. Volvo B20 engine, rearThe B20 engine displaced 2.0 L; 121.2 cu in (1,986 cc), with the cylinders on 105 / 108 mm (4.13 / 4.25 in) split bore centers, where the spacing between cylinders 2 and 3 is wider than between cylinders 1 and 2 or 3 and 4.
The design is virtually identical to the earlier B18, but with an enlarged 88.9 mm (3.5 in) bore, thus most parts are functionally interchangeable, albeit with running changes to the manufacture and design of components. The B20 engine was used in the Volvo, and series, and also in the. A modified version was used in the one-off 1969 concept car. The B20 was produced from 1969 to 1981.There are five variations of this engine:. B20A: 8.7:1 compression. Single carburetor version.
82 bhp (61.1 kW). First produced in 1969. B20B: 9.5:1 compression. Dual carburetor version.
118 bhp (88.0 kW) with a higher compression ratio, fitted variously with dual SU or Zenith/Stromberg sidedraft carburetors. First produced in 1969. B20D: 8.7:1 compression. Dual carburetor version. 105 bhp (78.3 kW) up to 1971 then 110 bhp (82.0 kW) from 1972 with a lower compression ratio, fitted variously with dual SU or Zenith/Stromberg sidedraft carburetors.
First produced in 1969. B20E: 10.5:1 compression. Up to 1973 then from 1974 on. 130 bhp (96.9 kW) for 1970 and 1971 and 135 bhp (100.7 kW) from 1972. First produced in 1970.
B20F: 8.7:1 compression. D-Jetronic fuel injection up to 1973 then K-Jetronic fuel injection from 1974 on. 118 bhp (88.0 kW). First produced in 1972 for lower emissions.The B20E and B20F versions featured larger valves, and intake/exhaust ports and for 1974-1975 switched from electronic D-Jetronic to mechanical K-Jetronic injection.In 1974 the number of bolts holding the increased from 6 to 8 and the size of the was increased. From 1975 the thread standard changed from SAE to Metric as Volvo switched over with the new 200 series.The B20A was revived for four years for use in the from 1977 to 1981.B30.

Introduction to Sports Biomechanics is a must have for students of sport and exercise, human movement sciences, ergonomics, biomechanics, and sports performance and coaching. Visit the companion website at: www.routledge.com/textbooks/940. Modern techniques of sports performance analysis enable the sport scientist, coach and athlete to objectively assess, and therefore improve upon, sporting performance. They are an important tool for any serious practitioner in sport and, as a result, performance analysis has become a key component of degree programmes in sport science and sports coaching.
Research Methods for Sports Performance Analysis explains how to undertake a research project in performance analysis including: selection and specification of a research topic the research proposal gaining ethical approval for a study developing a performance analysis system testing a system for reliability analysing and discussing data writing up results. Covering the full research cycle and clearly introducing the key themes and issues in contemporary performance analysis, this is the only book that sports students will need to support a research project in performance analysis, from undergraduate dissertation to doctoral thesis. Including case studies, examples and data throughout, this book is essential reading for any student or practitioner with an interest in performance analysis, sports coaching or applied sport science. This is the clearest and most straightforward biomechanics textbook currently available.
By breaking down the challenging subject of sport and exercise biomechanics into short thematic sections, it enables students to grasp each topic quickly and easily, and provides lecturers with a flexible resource that they can use to support any introductory course on biomechanics. The book contains a wealth of useful features for teaching and learning, including clear definitions of key terms, lots of applied examples, guides to further reading, and revision questions with worked solutions.
It has been significantly expanded to encompass rapidly developing areas, such as sports equipment design and modern optoelectronic motion analysis systems, and it includes a number of new sections that further develop the application of biomechanics in sports performance and injury prevention. A new companion website includes a test bank, downloadable illustrations and, where appropriate, suggestions for learning outcomes and/or lab-based sessions for lecturers.
