STRESS ANALYSIS OF IC ENGINE PISTON FOR DIFFERENT MATERIAL AND PRESSURE LOAD USING FEA

This present work describes the stress distribution of two different aluminum alloys piston by using finite element method (FEM). The piston is designed for a single cylinder petrol engine using SOLIDWORKS 2013 software. The procedure for analytical design of two different aluminum alloy piston is described. Design is imported to ANSYS 15.0 software then static stress analysis is performed at different pressure load conditions on the piston. Results are presented and a comparison is made to find the best aluminum alloy
