Modelling and study of the thermo-mechanical behaviour of the head of a gasoline internal combustion engine

Abstract

The engine cylinder head is an essential part in the operation of the automobile. it undergoes great stresses under thermal and mechanical stresses. The current study presents the thermomechanical analysis of the engine cylinder head with the use of a finite element software « ANSYS-Workbench. » The choice of materials to develop the engine cylinder head is a major factor for a good functioning. therefore, in the present work, Aluminum alloy is chosen. however, the results are not perfect. Despite the results, they indicate the importance of cylinder head design
