The reason of this study is low cycle failure of cast iron cylinder head during the E5 standard durability test. The goal of the present investigation is durability test simulation and low cycle fatigue life evaluation of cast iron cylinder head. With uncouple structural analysis, preloads, thermal and mechanical load and boundary conditions are prescribed to finite element model of the cylinde...

To eliminate the requirement for skilled workers in Video cassette recorder (VCR) cylinder assembly lines, an automatic adjustment system for VCR magnetic heads on a rotating cylinder unit has been newly developed. The reconstructed image quality is strongly affected by magnetic head setting errors, such as; ( I ) Setting angle error for two symmetrically positioned head. (2) Rotational angle e...

This paper presents the coating thickness effect on the stress distribution of a coated cylinder head. A typical thermal barrier coating was applied on a diesel engine cylinder head. Thus, the residual stress which occurred during the plasma thermal spraying was also considered. The coating system consisted of two layers a metallic bond coat and a ceramic top coat. The bond coat thickness is co...

The nose bridge between the inlet valve and exhaust valve is the most fragile part on the cylinder head. Fatigue crack is the major failure mode. It is necessary to analyze the structure strength and reliability (SSR) of this zone. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) model for a engine cylinder head is built up using Pro/Engineer wildfire 2.0, and the 3D FEM analysis of the SSR is carried o...

Previous studies have shown that hippocampal place fields are controlled by the salient sensory cues in the environment, in that rotation of the cues causes an equal rotation of the place fields. We trained rats to forage for food pellets in a gray cylinder with a single salient directional cue, a white card covering 90 degrees of the cylinder wall. Half of the rats were disoriented before bein...

The aim of this study is to discover the characteristics of the cooling water in the cylinder head of a high-power diesel engine by using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A 3-D geometric model of a cylinder head water jacket was previously constructed using Unigraphics software. A mesh was then imposed on the model using the preprocessor of Fluent software, GAMBIT. Three types of thermal...

This paper presents finite element analysis (FEA) of a coated and uncoated cylinder heads of a diesel engine to examine the distribution of temperature and stress. A thermal barrier coating system was applied on the combustion chamber of the cylinder heads, consists of two-layer systems: a ceramic top coat (TC), made of yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ), ZrO2-8%Y2O3 and also a metallic bond coat...

This paper discusses a method of modelling collisions between long hairs. The hairs are modelled as cubic B-splines, to which chains of cylinders are fitted for the purposes of collision detection. The head on which the hairs rest is modelled as an ellipsoid. The paper explains how to fit cylinder chains to splines, how to test whether and where two cylinder chains intersect, and how to test wh...

This two-part paper describes a compressor redesign program for improving efficiency, lowering sound emission, and cost. Part 2 indicates how sound and discharge pulse were reduced through research conducted on transmission loss of plastic vs. steel manifolds and discharge pulse modeling using four pole parameters Common reciprocating compressors utilize steel flapper valves and a Cylinder Head...
