Abstract
This paper presents a global approach of thermomechanical design in the automotive industry. The three steps of the method are the following: the loading definition, the modelling of the constitutive law, a failure criterion. Cracked area and lifetime prediction are described in the case of aluminium alloy cylinder heads submitted to transient thermal loadings. The main hypothesis and modelling choices are presented and results are illustrated by a series of computations on real 3D structures.
