Abstract: In this work, a typical vehicle engine is modeled within PTC-Creo software, and its thermal, mechanical, and thermo-mechanical performance are evaluated. This is followed by the vibrational, fatigue, and buckling analysis of the assembly of components, which are the predominant failure causes. The results show that the least temperature gradient occurs in the center of the pin, which connects the piston to the connecting rod, the maximum... More

Abstract: In automobile engines, it is commonly known that the proper removal of the excess heat, resulted from internal combustion, is of high significance in the prevention of numerous negative consequences. In this regard, the radiator has a pivotal role as the main component of the engine’s cooling system. Hence, its design and analysis are highly important, requiring more comprehensive failure and flow investigations. In this work, a Scania radiator... More

Abstract: This paper presents a numerically developed computer model to simulatethe thermal behavior and evaluate the mechanical performance of a fixedend loaded loaded High Strength Concrete Column (HSCC), subjectedto Moderate Case Heating Scenario (MCHS), in a hydrocarbon fire. Thetemperature distribution within the mid-height cross-sectional area of thecolumn was obtained to determine the thermal and mechanical responsesas a function of temperature.... More
