Abstract

The analysis of IC engine piston is carried out using the finite element method to determine stress and displacement distribution due to the flue gas pressure and temperature. Simulation of an IC engine piston provides the necessary details which may be further used in the design process. The piston is subjected to mechanical and thermal loads under service conditions which need to be controlled. Temperature, type of fuel, engine speed, piston material etc. affects the performance of an IC engine. Deformation behavior of the piston material is analyzed through the CAE software and the response data is generated. A comparative study has been also carried out between an alloy and metal matrix composite which were used as a piston material. Response surface optimization is conducted using Taguchi design of experiments to determine design points. Under structural loading conditions, the metal matrix composite (MMC) performs better than the eutectic alloy. The piston crown area has been subjected to maximum deformation under structural and thermal loading conditions.
