Composite design of the diesel engine cylinder with finite element analysis

Abstract This paper aims to give numerical modelling of a composite cylinder which is found in a four-stroke, direct injection diesel engine. In this study, a new generated special software COMPCYL is developed and used as an optimization program. Stress–strain analysis of the designed composite structures is made by using the finite element method. By using this code, the carbon fiber/carbon matrix type composite structures are tested due to maximum internal pressure and temperature distributions. For each ply critical stress–strain distributions are determined and the failure analysis is made
