Abstract

The finite element simulation of a cylinder head has been carried out with Abaqus Standard using Z-mat material model, with thermal boundary conditions coming from combined conjugate heat transfer and gas-exchange simulations. The fatigue post-processing of results has been done with Z-post software using ONERA fatigue model. The resulting lifetime values have been found out to correspond well to observations from the field.
