Abstract:

This paper describes the thermal and the stress distribution of the piston which is initialized with four different materials by using the COUPLED field analysis by finite element method (FEM). The parameters used for the simulation are the temperature as thermal conditional and the force or the pressure applying on the piston crown and the material properties of the piston. The specifications used for the piston belong to four stroke single cylinder Hero-Honda motorcycle. Aluminum metal composites are increasing across the broad acknowledgement for vehicles, modern, aviation applications in view of their low thickness, high quality and great structural unbending nature. In present work the Piston is modeled using CATIA V5 modeling and Finite Element analysis (COUPLE FIELD analysis) by using the modules of both structural and thermal analysis are done for same model utilizing ANSYS software for Aluminum (pure) , Aluminum alloy (A6061), Al-GHS 1300 and Al-SiCgraphite and the results were discussed. The results predict the maximum stress and the critical region on the different aluminum alloys piston using FEA. It is important to locate the critical area of concentrated stress for appropriate modifications.
