Steady State Thermal and Structural Analysis of Piston Using Finite Element Simulation

Authors(2) :-Manoj Darwai, Anurag Kulshreshtha

Composite materials are gaining importance because of their advantages including low cost, ease, and simplicity of operation. Composites containing hard oxides (like SiC) are preferred for high wear resistance along with increased hardness, improved corrosion resistance and high-temperature oxidation resistance as compared to alloy and pure metal. Composite coating is used for the purpose of wear resistance. In this work, material composition test, hardness test, of such composite coatings are carried out. The effect of particle size and number of particles suspended is reported. SiC Composites allowed depositing on Aluminium using casting process. Computer aided engineering (CAD) tools allow engineers to design product and to simulate these designs for residual stress, structural response, thermal effects, pre-processing and post processing fatigue on the components of the I C Engine. In this project the piston is modeled using CATIA V5, meshing and analysis is done in ANSYS 16.0 software and the thermal and static behavior is studied and the results are tabulated. The study of various stresses acting on the piston under been carried out. This work has been taken upon the following aspects to cover the research gaps and to present the results based on the systematic studies. For improving the efficiency of the engine there is a need to study more about the behavior of piston. Pistons are generally made up of alloy steels that show the great resistant property against thermal and structural loads. By going through the structural and thermal analysis, we decide whether our material selection for design piston is safe or not under applied load conditions. At the end the results are compared. This work will help persons working in the field of steady state thermal analysis of piston.
