Design and development of high-pressure pipe involves number of design validation plans for robust design in diesel engine. The fundamental behavior of two-cylinder diesel engine with parallel stroke involves high vibration which generates stress on components mounted on crankcase resulting into earlier fatigue failure. In this paper, the innovative approach of using optimized design of vibration damper for resolving high vibration stress concerns in fuel system is discussed. The vibration dampers were designed meeting both performance and durability aspects in two-cylinder diesel engine applicable for both passenger and commercial vehicle. This paper highlights the design approach involving experimental stress measurements and design optimization based on part development feasibility.

Diesel engines are known for their excellent low-end torque, better drivability, performance, and better fuel economy. The increase in customer demands pushes to deliver higher power and torque along with fuel economy. This requirement puts a great challenge on the overall weight of the engine. This paper explains the holistic approach followed along with optimizing the rocker arm cover to achieve the weight target without compromising on durability and cost in the commercial segment 2.5-liter Diesel Engine. This paper presents a complete overview of the design and development of Rocker Arm (RA) cover to meet Strength, Durability, NVH and Aesthetic in Commercial Engine where base design is in aluminum which is mounted on cylinder head with a separate breather system. From aluminum the base design of Rocker arm cover is optimized to sheet metal where in there is reduction of 43% in weight and cost saving of 13%.
