Design Thermal and Structural Analysis of Piston Using Composite Materials by Fea Method

A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving component that is contained by a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings Piston that transfer the combustive gases power to the connecting rod. To improve the efficiency of the engine there is a need to study about the piston. Pistons that are usually made up with alloy steels that show the grate resistant against thermal loads and structural loads. In the project we design a piston by using solid works 2016 design software and we did the structural load analysis and thermal analysis by applying various materials such as composites on piston in ansys workbench software.
