This thesis work investigates the replacement of aluminum alloy piston in an internal combustion engine with ceramic composite materials. The main criterion of the project work is to find the right choice of ceramic composite among the available composition viz., Silicon Nitride; Zirconia and alumina composite. The anticipated analysis predicts thermal stability and structural stability at real time scenarios as boundary conditions. The study also deals with the discussion of results between ceramic composite. The piston was modeled with the help of design data formulae. The model will be created in compatible CAD software and analysis will be carried out in Ansys package. The analysis performed is static coupled field. That means non-linear thermal and structural analysis, which is performed by applying approximately real time temperature and pressure parameters on the piston. The temperature and stress distribution plots on the piston are studied and discussed. And the conclusion will be drawn by comparing the results. The upcoming discussion will throw light on necessity of this project, followed by objective and goal. |
