The main objective of this work is to investigate and analyse the stress distribution of piston. In this paper
transient thermal analysis and static analysis is done by using to different materials(Aluminium and Al 6061-T6). The
parameter used for the analysis is operating gas pressure, temperature and material properties of piston. In I.C. Engine
piston is most complex and important part therefore for smooth running of vehicle piston should be in proper working
condition. Piston fails mainly due to mechanical stresses and thermal stresses. Analysis of piston is done with boundary
conditions, which includes pressure on piston head during working condition and uneven temperature distribution from
piston head to skirt. The analysis predicts that due to temperature whether the top surface of the piston may be damaged
or broken during the operating conditions, because damaged or broken parts are so expensive to replace and generally
are not easily available. The model of piston is created using CATIA V5 software. CAD model is then imported into
ANSYS software for geometry and meshing purpose. The FEA performed by using ANSYS14.5(ANSYS WORK BENCH
