Collection of papers from three technical sessions on variable valve actuation held at the 2001 SAE World Congress, March 5-8 in Detroit, Michigan. Papers cover devices ranging from cam phasers to fully-flexible VVA mechanisms to electromagnetic actuators. Additionally, several papers discuss the operating and control strategies so critical to the successful implementation of these mechanisms.
