Abstract

This paper deals with a theoretical and analytical study of three real pistons of
internal combustion engines (work with gasoline). These pistons are different from each
other in shape, speed ,and power. Three dimension (3D) models for the real pistons were
build using Ansys software. The boundary conditions were set in order to carry out the
thermal analysis
The thermal analysis covered also cases of different changes in the shape of each
piston in order to carry out comparisons with the real shapes of the pistons.
The analysis offers to the designer the ability to understand the behavior of thermal
stresses, their locations and the way they spread in order to reach to the optimum design.
