Abstract

The impact of temperature effect on exhaust manifold modal analysis is analyzed in this study. Firstly, the temperature field is mapped from the CFD software and then heat conduction process is analyzed in FEM software with the temperature field boundary conditions. At last the modal analysis that considers temperature effect is done. The frequency and vibration mode between cold modal and thermal modal’s are compared. The result shows that temperature has a great influence on the manifold mode and it is very valuable to product design.
