Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive comparative evaluation of classical and modern predictive models for fatigue life in scraper rings of internal combustion engines, which operate under high thermo-mechanical stresses. Accurate fatigue life predictions are essential for optimizing engine component design, preventing both over- and under-engineering while ensuring long-term reliability. The effectiveness of both traditional models and newer advanced approaches was analyzed using loading profiles that replicate real-world engine operating conditions. Results indicate that stress-life models offer more reliable predictions for high-cycle fatigue scenarios, while strain-life models perform better under low-cycle fatigue conditions. Furthermore, fracture mechanics models show great promise in predicting crack propagation and identifying failure mechanisms. Detailed inspections and Légraud-Poirier (LP) tests confirmed fatigue-induced cracking at critical locations of the scraper rings, emphasizing the importance of incorporating multi-axial loading in fatigue assessments. The findings underscore the necessity for using comprehensive loading profiles and thorough inspections to enhance the accuracy and dependability of fatigue life predictions, which are critical for improving the performance and durability of engine components.
