Accelerated Testing of Multi-Layer Steel Cylinder Head Gaskets

Vehicular Engine Design

“…This is followed by a paper on metal head gasket evaluation, and a series of recent papers on Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket development (Raub 1992;Graves et al 1993;Ishigaki et al 1993;Kestly et al 2000;. The first two papers listed below discuss structural analysis of the head gasket joint.…”

Durability and reliability in diesel engine system design

“…More detailed information on accelerated testing in engine or automotive applications was provided by Indig and Williams (1984), Goshorn and Krodel (1978), Krivoy et al (1986), Dystrup et al (1993), Vertin et al (1993), Davis and Christ (1996), Kestly et al (2000), Niewczas and Koszalka (2002), Feng and Chen (2004), Evans et al (2005), and Franke et al (2007).…”

Temperature Analysis of a Gasket for an Internal Combustion Engine

“…The time to reach steady state and A thermal analysis of a gasket is of paramount importance for characterizing the types of gasket the temperature variations within the depth of the chamber wall and the gasket were also determined. failure that are typically encountered in practice [6] and for developing techniques that can improve gasket performance. More importantly, unsteady heat effects must be accounted for, particularly if 2 ANALYSIS analysis of the root cause of fretting, which is known Figure 1 shows a schematic of the combustion Fig.…”
