Cylinder Head Gasket

This paper focuses on discussing the application of FEA theory and method in calculation of composite structure strength between engine cylinder head and head gasket. Based on finite element analysis software, the integrated system of 3D CAD/CAE application software was developed for the finite-element analysis of the composite structure consisting of engine cylinder head and head gasket. By using the software system, several jobs, such as working condition analysis from preloading to outburst operation, structural analysis and steady-state thermal analysis, and thermo-structure coupling analysis, were carried out. The results studied in this paper provide a new idea and method for the finite element analysis of composite structure between engine cylinder head and head gasket.

The nature and mechanism of cracking in cast iron diesel cylinder heads arising from the differential thermal strains which occur in service are reviewed. The results of experimental work with test apparatus simulating the conditions in a cylinder head are presented, illustrating the importance of controlling the boiling conditions of the water at the cooling face of the flame deck. It is concluded that cylinder head temperatures, and therefore the danger of cracking, can be successfully reduced by increasing the flow of cooling water over critical areas by some form of directed flow.
