A dynamic and statistical analysis of the temperature- and fatigue behavior of a race power unit - The effect of different thermodynamic states - Peter Hölz Kartoniert (TB)

In this work the dynamic behavior of a lean combustion race engine is investigated with regard to cycle-averaged component temperatures heat fluxes and piston failure under high cycle fatigue loading. A special focus lies on the influence of various engine settings like ignition time and the airfuel ratio. For the introduced stationary as well as transient temperature calculation method in cylinder pressure curves are measured and processed statistically by probability density functions.
