Abstract
This paper deals with a structural stress analysis of the cylinder head assembly of the C/28 series engine. A detailed FE model was created for this purpose. The FE model consists of the main parts of the cylinder head assembly, and it includes a description of the thermal and mechanical loads and the contact interaction between their parts. The model considers the temperature dependency of the heat transfer coefficient on wall temperature in cooling passages. The paper presents a comparison of computed and measured temperature. The analysis was carried out using the FE program ABAQUS.
Highlights
The cylinder head is one of the most complicated parts of an internal combustion engine
The heat fluxes and temperature nonuniformities lead to thermal stress, which further escalates the mechanical loading from combustion pressure
The design of the engine head must be tested under operational conditions
Summary
The cylinder head is one of the most complicated parts of an internal combustion engine. The heat fluxes and temperature nonuniformities lead to thermal stress, which further escalates the mechanical loading from combustion pressure. A detailed FE strength analysis can provide valuable information about the temperature distribution and mechanical stresses in the overall assembly of the cylinder head.
