Basic Analysis of Tatra Air Cooled Engine Block by Finite Element Method

Abstract

The thesis deals with the strength analysis of the engine block of the eight-cylinder air-cooled TATRA engine. The main objective of the work was to assess the engine block for Euro 6 parameters, which will cause an increase in combustion systems by approximately 14% compared to the current serial state. Emphasis was placed on the strength evaluation of the inter-cylinder counters, which are the most exposed parts of the engine block. In the research part of the thesis, the experimental procedures for detecting deformations and consequently the stress of the inter-cylinder counters as well as the other parts of the engine block are mentioned. The stress analysis was carried out by the Finite Element Method using Siemens NX-12 software.
