| Abstract |
Nowadays, the cylinder heads are subjected to higher thermal stress due to the increasing engine power output, fuel consumption and gas emission. Thus, simulation and analysis of fatigue cracks is essential. In this paper, the high cycle fatigue (HCF) life analysis of the cylinder head considering the stress gradient, is performed using the finite element method and ANSYS software to predict the temperature and stresses, and then, HCF life using Goodman theory and nCode Design Life software. Mechanical properties of cylinder head obtained by tensile tests at different temperatures. Tensile tests were simulated by ANSYS software, and very good agreement was shown between the experimental and simulation results of tensile tests. The results of finite element analysis (FEA) showed that the maximum temperature and stress values occur at the valve bridge between exhaust valves. The distribution of the HCF safety factor demonstrated no critical point in the cylinder head, and the minimum safety factor of 1.4 occurred in the exhaust port. The simulation results compared with the engine durability test. 800-hour durability test showed no rupture in different parts of the cylinder head. |
