Abstract Low weight and long lifetime are necessary requirements for automobiles to significantly reduce CO2 emission and environmental burdens in their use. Aluminum alloys are one of the most promising materials selections for automobiles parts and electrical components to reduce their weight and to increase their specific strength. This paper presents the role of nitriding on the fatigue life of the vibrating cylinder block for a new two-stroke free piston engine using variable amplitude loading conditions. The finite element modeling and analysis have been performed utilising a computer aided design and a finite element analysis codes respectively. In addition, the fatigue… More >
