Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Bangalore , India ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract -An element of reciprocating engines is a piston. 1.1 Literature Review 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 AL7178 are the three distinct materials.
[1] Design and Analysis of Piston of Internal Combustion Engine on Various Materials Using CAE Tool ANSYS was a work presented by G. Siva Prasad, K. Dinesh Achari, E. Dileep Kumar Goud, M. Nagaraju, and K. Srikanth. In this article, writers discussed several materials. Al alloy 4032, alloy steel AISI4340, and titanium Ti-6A1-4V. Al-alloy material is suited for real-time applications, according to the paper's authors, who also transmit that it reduces fuel consumption, based on its structural and thermal behaviour.
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.
[2]Pagadala Siddiraju and Koppula Venkateswarareddy presented a paper titled "Design and Analysis of the Piston by Using Five Different Materials." In this paper, the authors developed the pulsar 220 piston and by comparing the results of their structural and thermal analyses, they came to the conclusion that the ALSIC material is superior to the other materials. Also, they demonstrated the superiority of this alloy over conventional alloys.
1.INTRODUCTION One of the most intricate and significant components of an engine are the pistons. The piston's job is to transmit gas pressure while rotating the crankshaft via the piston pin. In addition, piston will work under high temperatures, and high-pressure conditions, with high-speed rotational velocity values. An internal combustion engine's piston is a reciprocating part that moves within the cylinder and transmits force from the cylinder's expanding gases to the crankshaft through a connecting rod. The piston can endure both the gas's cyclical pressure and the forces of inertia at work.
[3] Yenugupalli In their paper, "Design and Analysis of Modular Piston by Using Couple Field Analysis," Anil Kumar and A.Sridhar Reddy discussed a tri-metallic piston, taking into account its dimensions through reverse engineering. Regular pistons, bimetallic pistons, and trimetallic pistons were created using Catia, and they were all analysed using the same boundary conditions in AnsysLastly, authors think According to the findings, a modular piston outperforms a single piece piston in all boundary conditions and lowers the cost of manufacturing a piston..
There are different parts in the piston some of them are divided according to there functions some of them are the top surface of the piston is called as crown, The design of the crown is based on the requirements of the engine combustion chamber, and the surface of the crown is essentially in convex or concave forms.. the bottom surface of the piston is called as the piston skirt.
[4] Vibhandik et al. (2014) used CAE tools to analyse, optimise, and study the deformation of a piston's thermal stresses. The piston utilised in the investigation came from TATA Motors and was used in a car with a diesel engine. He ordered thermal evaluations of both the conventional diesel piston and the upgraded piston made of an alloy of titanium and aluminium. structural steel is used to make the typical diesel piston. The main objective of this analysis is to increase the piston's lifespan by reducing the stress concentration at the piston's upper end. After doing the research, he came to the conclusion that titanium can improve piston quality and has higher thermal properties, but because it is expensive for large-scale applications, it can only be used in a small number of applications.
Mainly piston consists of three grooves which are used to implement the rings known as piston rings. The main function of the rings is to make easy flow of the fuel through the cylinder, also for the reduction of the wear in the piston it act as a oil lubricating, and they absorb the pressure developed inside the chamber and protects the piston by wearing process
