Sleeves ERL Structural Analysis of the K24 Sleeve Design 1英文电子书.pdf

Structural Analysis of the Honda K24 Sleeve Design It is well known that racing engines require stronger components in order to withstand the increased forces. Race engines use components such as titanium valve springs, forged rods, large diameter head bolts, and ductile iron sleeves to name a few. Many of these components have been developed through the years with the simple trial and error method. If the engine blows, find out why, and strengthen the component that broke. This technical brief will show how an engine sleeve is designed and tested using engine simulation and finite element analysis. When the spark plug for an internal combustion engine fires it ignites a fuel that starts an exothermic chemical reaction with air. This reaction creates high temperature gases that greatly expand. These expanding gases cause a large increase in pressure in the cylinder. This pressure forces the piston downward. This pressure is also applying a tensile stress into the engine sleeve. In other words the pressure in cylinder is trying to blow the cylinder apart. This particular technical brief will be the structural analysis of a turbocharged Honda K24 engine with the ERL SUPERDECK Ι system and Darton sleeves. A turbocharger forces air pressure or “boost” into an engine. Boost without exception causes an increase in combustion pressure. Both mean effective pressure and maximum pressure are increased. Therefore, the first step in analyzing this engine is to find the maximum combustion pressure that a turbocharged K24 sees while running down the track. In order to find the maximum combustion pressure theoretically, a commercial off the shelve program was used. This program allows the user to define the specifications for the engine block, head, intake system, exhaust, valve train and of course the turbocharger. In order to test the absolute extreme conditions in racin
