The parameters used for the simulation of piston are its operating gas pressure and material properties. To evaluate the material properties of piston the maximum principal stress, and von mises stresses, & shear stress were calculated. These stresses were calculated for two different materials by comparing Aluminum alloy and cast iron. Composite material provides less stress concentration and more stability at higher temperature. For stability checking at higher temperature thermal analysis were carried out. This research work suggests a new type of Aluminum alloy (composite material) that can sustain at higher temperature (573K) and pressure (6195KPa). The structure of piston was modeled by using CATIA V5R0 software. Finite element modeling and analysis were performed using ANSYS 14. The Maximum with standing temperature & Maximum pressure of the piston were obtained and its stress distribution are analyzed.

INTRODUCTION Function of the piston The piston as an element of power transmission In the cylinder of an engine, the energy bounded up in the fuel is rapidly converted into heat and pressure during the combustion cycle. The heat and pressure values increase greatly within a very short period of time. The piston as the moving part of the combustion chamber has the task of converting this released energy into mechanical work. The basic structure of the piston is a hollow cylinder, closed on one side, with the segments piston crown with ring belt, pin bass and skirt. Figure 1: Piston Assembly The piston crown transfers the gas forces resulting from the combustion of the fuel air mixture via pin boss, the piston pin, and the connecting rod to the crankshaft. The gas pressure against the piston crown and the oscillating initial forces, reflected to in the following as the inertia force, of the piston and connecting rod constitute the piston force. Due to the redirection of the piston force in the direction of the connecting rod (rod force) an Additional component arises, following the force parallelogram namely the lateral force also known as the normal force. This force pressure the piston skirt against the cylinder bore During a combustion cycle, the lateral Force changes direction several times, which pressures the piston from one side of the cylinder bore to other, due to the existing piston clearance. The most important tasks that the piston must fulfill are Available Online@ 339 Transmission of force form and to the working gas. Variable bounding of the working chamber (cylinder) Sealing off the working chamber Linear guiding of the conrode (trunk piston engines) Heat dissipation Support charge exchange by drawing and Discharging (four-stroke engine) Support mixture formation (by means of Suitable shape of the piston surface on the Combustion chamber side) Controlling charge exchange(in two-stroke Engine) Guiding the sealing elements (piston) Guiding the conrod (for top guided conrode) As the specific engine output increase, so do the requirements on the piston at the same time. A. Different Types of Pistons Various types of pistons are employed on Different engines. This is because each type fulfils Some specific requirements on a particular engine. Some pistons have complex head formation, some Have specially formed skirts, and other has Geometrical, peculiarities. Based on various considerations, the piston may be categorized as Follows: 1. On the basis of head formation: i. Deflector head piston ii. Combustion chamber type piston iii. Domed and depression headed piston. On the basis of skirt profile i. Slipper piston ii. Cut way piston 3. On the basis of skirt piston: i. Solid skirt piston ii. Split skirt piston 4. On the basis of other specialties: i. Cam ground piston ii. Taper piston iii. Oval piston
