Static and Thermal Analysis of Piston using FEM Analysis

Abstract

This work describes the static and thermal stress distribution of the combustion engine piston using computer aided design software. Using computer aided design Autodesk Inventor software the solid model of a piston will be created and using SolidWorks the static and thermal analyses are investigated for two variants of a diesel piston, made of different type of materials, Aluminium 6061 Alloy and Gray Cast Iron material.
