ABSTRACT

This work's main goal is to examine how the thicknesses of the piston boss and piston crown affect the stresses placed on the piston. In the current study, a 150-cc piston of the "Hero" type, constructed of A4031 aluminum, was taken into consideration. Heats from the combustion process and gas pressure were applied to the piston head in a double-action. It was thought that the piston pin bore served as a cylindrical support. The simulation process utilizing the thermal structural coupling technique was conducted using ANSYS 15. A range of piston boss and piston crown thicknesses were chosen and examined. The piston's Von-Mises stress, mass, and temperature distribution all influenced the comparison and optimization procedures. The results unequivocally demonstrated that the ideal piston design was 3 mm piston crown and 2 mm piston boss thicknesses, based on the stress levels measured for various piston diameters. The ideal piston design raised the piston's internal temperature while decreasing overall stress and mass.
