loading conditions and complex geometry have led the cylinder heads to become the most challenging parts of diesel engines. one of the most important durability problems in diesel engines is due to the cracks valves bridge area. the purpose of this study is a thermo-mechanical analysis of cylinder heads of diesel engines using a two-layer viscoplasticity model. in this article, mechanical prope...

Non-isothermal conditions during flight cycles have long led to the requirement for thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) evaluation of aerospace materials. However, the increased temperatures within the gas turbine engine have meant that the requirements for TMF testing now extend to disc alloys along with blade materials. As such, fatigue crack growth rates are required to be evaluated under non-is...

Due to the complex geometry and thermos-mechanical loading, cylinder heads are the most challenging parts among all parts engines. They must endure cyclic thermal and mechanical loading throughout their lifetime. Cast aluminum alloys are normally quenched after solution treatment process to improve aging responses. Rapid quenching can lead to high residual stress. Residual stress is one of the ...

The thermo mechanical reliability of plated through holes (PTH) in printed circuit boards (PCB) normally is determined by different tests (e.g. thermo cycle test (TCT), interconnect stress test (IST), highly accelerated thermal shock (HATS). During these tests the PTH Cu is exposed to stresses and strains which are below the tensile strength and the fracture strain, respectively, which leads to...
