  • Abstract:
  • The primary role of the piston is to change the volume of the combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine. The piston is in contact with the hot gases that come out burning. In addition to thermal stress, depending on the operating mode of the engine, the piston is required to change the incoming force. Therefore, the iron piston passes because of the high inertial force, and the lightweight aluminum pistons cannot work at high temperatures. Therefore, the analysis should include a rigid body analysis and a dynamic body analysis. So the power applied to the parts when the engine is moving should be calculated and this power is used to calculate the dynamic stress on the profit part i.e. connecting rod. It is proposed to modify two new sets of materials for building parts of the assembly and investigate the parameters by performing a dynamic, dynamic and thermal analysis, thermal analysis involves the analysis of heat flow, temperature distribution through the temperature of the surface of the piston. By looking at the results of both analyses, we can determine whether our designed piston is safe under the applied load conditions. So finally a comparative study is done by showing the different results of the analysis of pistons using different materials.
