Design of Piston

The piston is designed with the following parameters: The piston diameter is 50mm and thickness is 12mm. It uses 3 compression rings and 1 oil ring. The ring thickness is 1.5625mm and width is 2.5mm. The first ring is 5mm from the top. The piston length is 81.25mm and skirt length is 65mm. The piston pin is centered 0.02x diameter above the skirt center and 1/2 skirt length from the bottom.

DESIGN OF PISTON:

We know diameter of the piston which is equal to 50 mm

Thickness of piston:

The thickness of the piston head is calculated from flat-plate theory

Where,

t = D (3/16 x P/f)½

Here,

P - Maximum combustion pressure = 100

bar

f - Permissible stress in tension = 34.66

N/mm²

Piston material is aluminium alloy.

∴t = 0.050 (3/16 x 100/34.66 x 10⁶/10⁵)½ x

1000

= 12 mm

Number of Piston Rings:

No. of piston rings = 2 x D½

Here,
D - Should be in Inches = 1.968 inches

∴ No. of rings = 2.805

We adopt 3 compression rings and 1 oil rings

Thickness of the ring:

Thickness of the ring = D/32

= 50/32

= 1.5625 mm

Width of the ring:

Width of the ring = D/20

= 2.5 mm

The distance of the first ring from top of the piston equals

= 0.1 x D

= 5 mm

Width of the piston lands between rings

= 0.75 x width of ring = 1.875

mm

Length of the piston:


Length of the piston = 1.625 x D

Length of the piston = 81.25 mm

Length of the piston skirt = Total length – Distance of first ring from

top of

The first ring (No. of landing between

rings x

Width of land) – (No. of compression

ring x

Width of ring)

= 81.25 – 5 – 2 x 1.875 – 3 x 2.5

= 65 mm

Other parameter:

Centre of piston pin above the centre of the skirt = 0.02 x D

= 65 mm

The distance from the bottom of the piston to the

Centre of the piston pin = ½ x 65 + 1

= 33.5 mm

Thickness of the piston walls at open ends = ½ x 12

= 6 mm

The bearing area provided by piston skirt = 65 x 50


= 3250 mm²
