Abstract :	[en] The following paper is intended to improve the fatigue behaviour of a complex aluminium valve geometry under high internal cyclic pres sure loading. The autofrettage process helps to increase the f atigue durability and a simple, but efﬁcient design method for this proces s is deployed. Based o n non-linear material’s behaviour, ﬁn ite eleme nt simulations of t he crack-free geometry help to determine the minimum and maximum autofrettage pressure to be used, without iterative crack simulations , which would require higher computational effort. Material tests under inverse plastiﬁcations were performed in order to determine the correct material model. The derived design method was validated with simpliﬁed specimens subjected to different autofrettage pressure levels and su bsequent cyclic fatigue tests.
