Three-Dimensional Finite Element Coupled Analysis of a Diesel Engine Piston

The paper analyzed the temperature field and the thermal stress field of a diesel engine piston with finite element analysis software ANASYS, then used the thermal mechanism indirect coupled method, researched the coupled stress field of piston. The result indicated that the point of the highest temperature located on the middle of firebox which under the dangerous temperature of the material; under thermal stress effect, the max displacement of the piston did not exceed the clearance between piston and cylinder liner, but the non-roundness at the third ring reached 0.08mm, which had some influence on the pressurize and lubricate of piston; under thermal mechanism coupled effect, the point of max stress located on the interface of the seat of the pin and the pin hole, so as the top on the pin hole and inner on the seat of pin, so it was recommended to set rib between cervix and the seat of pin of piston to enhance the practical carrying capacity of the seat of the pin.
