Pistons are one of the important parts of
electric motors, gasoline engines and
diesel engines.

Piston stress refers to the internal forces

and stresses that the piston experiences
during engine operation.

 Introduction to pressure load
2.1

The magnitude of the pressure load

depends on the pressure of the liquid
or gas and the surface area it acts on.

9
2.2 Factors affecting piston load
pressure

The use of pressure load can be affected by various factor

s, including:

1. Magnitude of pressure:

2. Piston geometry

3. Piston material properties

4. Operating temperature

10
 2.2.1 Magnitude of pressure

The magnitude of pressure is a critical factor

that affects the use of pressure load.

11
 2.2.2 Piston geometry

The geometry of the piston, such

as its size, shape, and surface area
can affect the distribution of
pressure and the resulting stresses
within the piston.

12
2.2.3 Piston material properties

The material properties of the piston, such as its strength, stiffness, and
thermal properties, can affect its ability to withstand pressure load.

2.2.4 Operating temperature

The operating temperature of the piston can affect its performance

under pressure load.

2.3 Stress analysis method of pressure load piston

Stress analysis of a piston under pressure can be performed in the following

steps:
• Determine the pressure distribution
• Calculate the force produced
• Determination of Stress
• Fault checking
• Modify the design if necessary

15
1 of the main steps in the above steps

Calculate the force produced:

F = p.S
Fault checking: The stresses can then be compared
with the material properties of the piston to check for
errors. The material properties will depend on the
type of material used for the piston.

thermal load

The stress analysis method of a piston using

thermal load can be performed using Finite
Element Analysis (FEA). The basic steps
involved in FEA are as follows:

Geometry creation

Mesh generation

Material properties

Boundary conditions

 4.2 The Boundary Condition

The maximum explosion

pressure is 6.05 MPa, and it
operates uniformly on the
piston head.

 4.3 Static Results

After selecting the material, the impositio

n of boundary conditions and the meshing
of the model proceed to the running of th
e
simulation.

 Performance analysis of pistons is important t
o evaluate the strength and to calculate the dur
ability of pistons under various operating cond
itions.
