Abstract: I.C engine piston is one of the most important and complex component in the engine. It is also sometimes referred as the heart of engine. It is widely used mainly in automotive and mechanical fields hence, a detailed study on its static behavior is important. This paper emphasizes on the static analysis of the piston head of a 4-stroke I.C engine. In the present work piston head is designed using CATIAV5R20 and this model is analyzed in ANSYS 14.5 and a study on its static behavior is performed. Aluminum alloy has been selected as piston material for structural analysis. The theoretical stress values obtained is compared with the stress values obtained after the analysis in ANSYS 14.5.

Keywords: Piston Head, I.C Engine, CATIA V5R20, ANSYS 14.5, Static Analysis.
