Half-beads of multi-layer-steel cylinder head gaskets take charge of sealing of lubrication oil and coolant between the cylinder head and the block. Since the head lifts off periodically due to the combustion gas pressure, both the dynamic sealing performance and the fatigue durability are essential for the gasket. A finite element model of the halfbead has been developed and verified with experimental data. The half-bead forming process was included in the model to consider the residual stress effects. The model is employed to assess the dependence of the sealing performance and the fatigue durability on the design parameters of half-bead such as the width and height of bead and the flat region length. The assessment results show that the sealing performance can be enhanced without significant deterioration of the fatigue durability in a certain range of the half-bead width. In the other cases the improvement of sealing performance is accompanied by the loss of the fatigue durability. Among three parameters, the bead width has the strongest influence.

Exhaust manifold is generally subjected to thermal cycle loadings ; at hot condition, large compressive plastic deformations are generated, and at cold condition, tensile stresses are remained in highly deformed critical zones. These phenomena originate from that thermal expansions of the runners are restricted by inlet flange connected to the cylinder head, because the former is less stiff than the latter and, the temperature of the inlet flange is lower than that of the runners. Therefore, due to the repetitions of thermal deformation, leakage problems could be occur between inlet flange and cylinder head. In this study, we obtained pressure distributions along gasket bead lines from the finite element analysis and compared to the test results. It shows a good agreement between numerical and experimental results.

A full-bead of multi-layer-steel (MLS) engine head gasket is used to seal the combustion gas. Finite element analyses were conducted to assess the dependence of the sealing performance of full-bead on the forming process consisting of embossing and flatting operations. It is demonstrated that the sealing performance is enhanced with more severe deformation of the bead plate during the embossing, i.e., with the increase in the punching depth, the punch height, the punch width and the friction coefficient of the bead plate against the punch and die, and with the decrease in the width of die cavity. Meanwhile, the flatting process that is employed to adjust the height of the embossed full-bead has no influence on the sealing performance.

본 논문은 냉장고의 열손실의 약 30%를 차지하고 있는 가스켓 주위의 열전달 해석시 복사열전달을 고려하지 않은 경우와 고려한 경우가 많은 차이가 있어서 가스켓 주위의 열전달 해석시 복사열전달 고려 여부에 따른 열손실 효과를 살펴보는 연구이다. 이를 위해 가스켓 주위를 단순화한 형상으로 모델링하여 열전달 전산해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 가스켓 내부의 공기층을 단순히 전도열전달만 고려한 경우 열손실이 $25.6W/m^2$이고 복사열전달을 함께 고려한 경우 $55.0W/m^2$로 약 2.2배 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 가스켓 내부에 복사열전달 차단판을 0에서 7개로 변화하면서 복사열전달 저감 효과를 살펴본 결과 차단판 개수가 증가하여 7개 인 경우는 설치하지 않은 경우에 비하여 열손실이 $55.0W/m^2$에서 $36.7W/m^2$로 33% 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 같은 개수의 복사 차단판일 경우는 냉장고 내부와 외부에 치우치는 쪽으로 설치하는 것이 가스켓의 가운데에 설치하는 것 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

The one of the major problems in the development of PEMFC was regarding to the assurance of sealing on stack. The failure on the sealing creates the problems of fuel leakage, mixing, internal combustion, damage on parts and can be a direct reason for the degrading the efficiency of fuel cell. This paper studies on the analytical approach for improving the contacting pressure distribution on the gasket at the evaluation on the sealing of fuel cell stack. So, the assembly analysis on multi layered fuel cell stack was performed. The research on the simplification of finite element model was performed for three dimensional analysis at the multi layered state. The improved contact pressure distribution was obtained through the case studies on gasket for better sealing. In addition, the number of the cell was determined for the effective analysis and the structural characteristics were evaluated based on this research.

The knock in a spark ignition engine has been investigated to avoid the damage to the engine and unpleasant feeling caused by the pressure waves propagating across the combustion chamber. Knock intensity and knock onset angle were used as physical parameters to quantify the knock characteristics. The knock intensity is defined as a peak to peak value of the bank pass filtered combustion pressure signal and the knock onset angle is determined as the crank angle at which this signal exceeded the threshold level on each cycle. The cyclic variation of knock in four valve single cylinder engine was investigated with these two parameters. The location of autoignition was also examined by ion probes in the cylinder head gasket and squish region in the combustion chamber. For this measurement, a single cylinder engine was modified to accept the pressure transducer, 18 ion probes in the squish region and 8 ion probes in the specially designed PCB (Printed \ulcornerCircuit Board) cylinder head gasket.

자동차의 엔진에서 불완전 연소는 유해 배기가스 생성의 주요 원인이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자동차 엔진에서 불완전 연소를 방지하고 배출되는 배기가스의 양을 줄이기 위하여 흡기 매니폴드에 가스켓 블레이드를 적용하여 유입되는 공기의 유속 증가에 따른 배기가스의 변화를 해석과 실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 먼저 3D 유동 해석 프로그램을 사용하여 가스켓 블레이드의 개수와 각도에 따른 유동 해석을 수행하였으며, 해석 결과 가스켓 블레이드를 적용한 흡기 매니폴드 출구에서 공기의 평균 유속은 블레이드 개수가 6개와 $30^{\circ}$각도에서 가장 좋게 나타났다. 해석 결과를 기반으로 무부하 엔진 시뮬레이션 시스템에서 가스켓 블레이드가 배기가스에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 실험을 진행하였으며 엔진 회전수가 2000 rpm에서 4000 rpm으로 증가함에 따라 배기가스인 HC, CO, NOx는 평균적으로 각각 23.4%, 16.5%, 3.8% 감소하였으며 배기가스의 배출량 감소 효과는 점점 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다.

엔진이 고성능화가 되어감에 따라 실린더 헤드 가스켓 재료나 밀봉(sealing) 구조가 계속해서 변 천되어 가고 있고 이는 엔진의 성능향상이 헤드 가스켓에 의해 크게 좌우된다는 것을 알려준다. 그러나 종래에는 헤드와 엔진보아(bore) 간의 밀봉문제가 가스켓만의 문제로 해서 검토하는 경우 가 많았다. 거기에다 검토 되어지는 것도 엔진의 개발 최종단계에서 이기 때문에 엔진을 개선할 수 없어 여러 가지 문제점을 가스켓이 부담하는 경우가 많았다. 그에 의한 무리한 대책은 나중 에 여러 가지 문제를 야기하는 결과를 가져다 준다. 그래서 여기서는 실린더 헤드 가스켓에 관 한 전반적인 내용을 서술하고자 한다.

LPG has been a broad concern of pro-environmental alternative fuel for vehicles. Recently, the new Liquid Phase LPG Injection(LPLI) system extends the limit of power of LPG engine and gives a chance to substitute LPG engine for diesel engine of heavy duty vehicles that are the main resources of air pollution in urban area. Large bore size of heavy duty LPG engine derives a serious knock problem. To find an optimal MBT conditions, it is necessary to know how the flame develops in the combustion chamber and find where the knock positions are. In this study. the ion-probe head gasket was used to estimate the knock position. Inverse operation of the ion-probe signal provides the flame developing characteristics. The further the position is from the spark plug, the later the flame arrives and the more times knock occurs. The main factor that effects knock position is inferred a flor situation of mixed gas in the combustion chamber.
