IRJET, 2023

An element of reciprocating engines is a piston. Its function is to use a connecting rod to transfer force from the expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft. It is one of the most intricate parts of a car. This article uses the finite element technique (FEM) to analyse the structural integrity of three distinct piston materials. Al-2618, AL-4032, and AL- 7178 are the three distinct materials. SOLIDWORKS software is used for modelling different piston materials, and ANSYS software is used for finite element analysis. Utilising ANSYS WORKBENCH, static structural and steady state thermal analysis is carried out. Using FEA, the findings show what the equivalent stress, total deformation, and total heat flux will be on various piston materials. Stress analysis is used to choose the optimum material

Piston as one of the most important component in an engine, its thermal load always causes fatigue failure. A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings Piston that transfer the combustive gases power to the connecting rod. Failure of piston due to various thermal and mechanical stresses. This paper describes the thermal distribution of the single cylinder engine piston by using FEA. Creo Computer Aided Design (CAD) software was used to design the existing piston.

Mechanical Properties, Material and Design of the Automobile Piston: An Ample Review

This paper is about the mechanical properties and shape of the automobile piston in the engine. Currently downsizing of the engine is attractive field for the research which benefitted in the reduction of fuel consumption and emission pollutants from the engine. While on the other side various pressure boosters attached with the engine piston-cylinder to maintain the output power at the bar/more than the bar. These attachments cause to produce high stresses and displacement vectors in the piston-cylinder and the gas forces generated during the combustion cause to produce thermal stresses on the face of the piston which sometime may leads to the failure of piston material. To withstand all these problems the material must be strong enough. Al-Si alloy is the main alloy material to manufacturing the piston because of low coefficient of thermal expansion, minimum weight, high hardness and strength and good wear resistance properties. In result; Shallow depth Combustion Chamber (SCC) is most suitable for low speed while Omega Combustion Chamber (OCC) is preferred for high speed, but both combustion chamber produce high amount of NOx. Maximum suitable percentage is of Si is up to 12% to 19%. While centrifugal casting is most right method to manufacture the piston and heat treatment at 540°C for 8 h and aging at 190°C for 8 h is correctly choice to achieve optimum mechanical properties by heat treatment. The ingredient material of the Al-Si alloy, the casting techniques and heat treatment techniques directly affects the mechanical properties of the piston in downsizing engine. A very careful observation is required during the manufacturing of automobile piston to achieve desired mechanical properties.

Design and Analysis of Aluminium 6082-T6 Piston

A piston is a reciprocating part of an engine which is bound by a cylinder and plays the role of changing the heat and pressure energy produced by rapid combustion of fuel in the combustion cycle into mechanical work. Since the piston is acted upon by so much forces, it has to be designed in such a way that it can withstand all of them without any shear failure. Over the past decades, Aluminium has managed to prevail as the best material to be used as piston, but after the discovery of aluminium alloys, the latter has taken the privilege. Aluminium alloys are much light and possess great moduli and thermal properties which puts them in the front seat. In this paper we have done a comparative study of structural and thermal behavior of piston when designed using commonly used Aluminium and Al 6082-T6 alloy. The results were quite appealing and satisfying to choose Al 6082-T6 to serve as a better piston material over the conventional aluminium and other alloys. For this, piston was modeled in Solidworks 14 and analysed in Ansys 15.

Design and Thermal Analysis of Composite Piston

2017

INTRODUCTION 1-6 Piston A piston is an important component of an internal combustion engine. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings. In an engine, the purpose of the piston is to convert the expanding gas in the cylinder and transfer that force to the crankshaft via piston rod or connecting rod. In a pump, the function is reversed and force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or ejecting the fluid in the cylinder. In some engines like two stroke engines, the piston acts as a valve by ABSTRACT An Internal Combustion Engine is a kind of prime mover that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. In this paper the piston of internal combustion engine is designed and thermally analyzed between Aluminium Alloy and Aluminium-SiC composite. The 3D model of composite piston was made using Creo 1.0 and Structural and thermal analysis were done using ANSYS R14. Compared to Aluminium, Aluminium-Silicon Carbide has lesser deformation, lesser stress and good temperature distribution.
