Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive approach to the modeling and thermal analysis of engine head gaskets, which are critical components in maintaining the integrity and performance of internal combustion engines. Utilizing advanced computational techniques, we develop a detailed finite element model to simulate the thermal behavior and stress distribution within the gasket under various operating conditions. The analysis focuses on the effects of temperature fluctuations, pressure variations, and material properties on gasket performance. Results indicate that thermal conductivity and compressibility significantly influence gasket effectiveness, affecting both engine efficiency and reliability. The findings provide valuable insights for the design and optimization of engine gaskets, contributing to improved thermal management and enhanced engine performance. This research lays the groundwork for future investigations into advanced gasket materials and designs tailored for high-performance applications.
