摘要

Internal Combustion (IC) engines are one of the most used devices to drive the industrial revolution, as they have been among the most crucial means by which goods could be moved from one place to another. The cylinder and the cylinder head play a pivotal role as components of the IC engine. They play a pivotal role in housing the combustion process and contain high-pressure gases that are generated during the operations. The cylinder is the primary chamber for the piston movement, whereas the cylinder head seals the top of the cylinder allowing the gases to be compressed, and the engine can perform its role. The cylinder head incorporates essential components such as the spark plug, inlet, and exhaust valves. Altogether, they ensure that the complete cycle of compression, combustion and exhaust flow takes place smoothly and optimally as these components significantly impact on the engine’s performance, efficiency and durability. The paper aims to design a cylinder for four-stoke IC engines and analyse its structural integrity under various loading conditions and compare how different materials vary in their stress handling capacities. The analysis employs both theoretical calculations and numerical simulations, facilitating a comprehensive comparison of the results obtained to quantify variations in structural strength. The primary focus is to create a cylinder for the IC engine and identify the deviations between manually calculated stresses and those received from the simulations, thus enhancing our understanding of the accuracy and reliability of traditional theoretical methods in contrast to modern-day numerical modelling approaches. The scope of this paper extends beyond understanding and examines the material behaviour and stress distribution, providing a critical insight into the performance of the components. The novelty of the paper lies in the comparative analysis performed by the authors, this helps us to highlight the limitations of conventional calculation techniques and underscore the significance of numerical approaches in contemporary engineering designs. Overall, the findings from the paper will help in optimizing the design of IC engine components and ultimately reduce the risk of failure under various conditions.
