Development of Computer Aided Engineering for Piston Design

Design the Piston of Internal Combustion Engine by Solidworks

“…Analysis method of the finite element provides a powerful calculation tool, which is better than test method and theory analysis method and has become an important means for internal combustion engine performance study It not only reduces some links which are continuously experimentation and modify for prototype, but also shortens product development cycles and reduces product cost. It is the most importance that supplies basal model for new products exploited and innovated in the future [1] . Therefore, we use SolidWorks to virtual design and stress analysis for piston.…”

Finite Element Analysis of the Piston Thermal Load in a Diesel Engine

“…A hybrid three-dimensional finite element thermal structural model was presented and used to study the behavior of various combustion chamber insulation configurations of a diesel engine on performance, components temperatures, and heat fluxes under various steady operating conditions [5]. New finite element methods were developed and the automatic mesh generating software was developed to create three-dimensional piston modeling, which predicted temperature distribution and thermal skirt expansion and skirt-to-bore contact pressure under engine operating conditions [6]. A full CAD finite element modeling was used to simulate piston's thermal and mechanical behavior as well as the resultant contact forces and moments for two different pistons to cylinder bore nominal clearances at two different engine speeds [7].…”
