FEA Simulation Model in Support of the Mechanical Reliability of Automotive Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors

Article Preview

Abstract:

Automotive exhaust gas temperature sensors are fitted to monitor the performance of a vehicle emission control system. The aggressive working environment is a big challenge in sensor design. This paper introduces an FEA simulation model developed to support the mechanical reliability of new sensor designs. The simulation model was validated by laboratory tests. Suggestions for optimising sensor reliability are given based on the simulation results.
