Thermo-Mechanical Couple Analysis of Cylinder Head Joint with Quadratic Contact

Article Preview

Abstract:

Finite element simulation technology was applied to the steady heat transfer and thermo-mechanical coupling analysis in order to investigate the influence of thermal load on stress intensity and sealing performance. An finite element heat transfer model of cylinder head joint assembly was set up, based on which the steady heat transfer analysis was performed subsequently by applying reasonable boundary conditions and loads. The influence on cylinder head sealing performance due to thermal field under the thermal stress conditions was evaluated by using the finite element method. The results showed that the thermal load increases the bolt tensile force and the gasket pressure, which help to improve the sealing performance. Compared to the mechanical load case, the thermo-mechanical stress of the liner and the cylinder head is obviously increased, so the thermal load is not neglectable when calculating the stress intensity of the cylinder head and the cylinder liner.
