OF

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE PISTON

This projects presents the design a PISTON of internal combustion engine using the topology optimization. The objectives of this project are to develop structural modeling, finite element analysis and the optimization of the PISTON design. The structure of PISTON was modeled utilized CATIA software. Finite element analysis were performed using ANSYS software. Linear static analysis was carried out to obtain the stress/strain state results. The mesh convergence analysis was performed to select the best mesh for the analysis. The topology optimization techni ue is used to achieve Keywords: !iston stress analysis, !iston modeling, Finite element analysis, "atia, #nsys.
