ABSTRACT
This
work
describes
the
stress
distribution of the piston by using finite element
method (FEM). FEM is performed by using
computer aided engineering (CAE) software. The
main objective of this project is to investigate and
analyze the stress distribution of piston at the
actual engine condition during combustion
process. The parameter used for the simulation is
operating gas pressure and material properties of
piston. The report describes the mesh
optimization by using FEM technique to predict
the higher stress and critical region on the
component. The piston under study belongs to the
two stroke single cylinder engine of SUZUKI
Max100 motorcycle. Aluminum is selected as
piston material. It is important to locate the
critical area of concentrated stress for appropriate
modification. Computer aided design (CAD)
software PRO-E Wildfire 4.0 is used to model the
piston. And static stress analysis and dynamic
analysis is performed by using ANSYS 14. Based
on stress analysis results the weight optimization
of piston is done using ANSYS 14.

Where
Mb = (1/3) Pzmax ri3 is the bending moment, MN m;
Wb = (1/3) ri 2 is the moment of resistance to
bending of a flat crown, m3;
Pzmax = Pz, is the maximum combustion pressure,
MPa;
ri = [D / 2 - (s + t + dt)] is the crown inner radius, m.

From these optimization results it is clear that the
piston was originally designed with large factor of
safety as previously such sophisticated analysis and
optimization tools were not available. But now a
days with tools like FEA software one can analyze
and optimize the design before manufacturing,
resulting in cost and time saving.
