Federal-Mogul Powertrain Cuts Engine Valve Development Time Using New Simulation Model
Dynamic finite element modelling of valve closing events leads to improved prediction of loads and greater valve durability with fewer design iterationsBarsinghausen, 28 January 2016… Federal-Mogul Powertrain, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML), has developed a simplified transient dynamic simulation model of valve closing action in order to predict dynamic loading on engine valves. By improving the accuracy of calculated deformation and stress under load, the technique enables valve fatigue life to be estimated more reliably and helps to ensure optimum material
