What will I learn?
This course provides practical training on designing, building, and optimising cylinders. You will master operating parameters, stress and thermal analysis, cooling jacket design, material and gasket choices, surface treatments, wear control, and validation techniques like FEA, CFD, fatigue prediction, and prototype testing to develop strong, reliable, high-performance cylinders.
