Deformation of Cylinder Liner Used in Large Crosshead Diesel Engines

-Comparison of Calculated and Measured Deformation

Abstract

An investigation was made into the deformation of a cylinder liner used in a large crosshead diesel engine. This deformation was calculated, but also measured. The results were then compared. They were not perfectly coincidental. The reason for the discrepancy is considered as applying the axis symmetrical model to a cylinder block being a complicated shape, inaccurate temperature distribution and improper modeling of the contact surfaces of the parts.
