Undergraduate Thesis
Comparative Thermo Mechanical Assessment of Functionally Graded Pistons with Multiple Material System and Gradation Profiles
Abstract
This research investigates the thermo-mechanical performance of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) pistons as an alternative to conventional aluminum pistons. Using ANSYS Workbench and APDL-based material grading, thermal, structural, and coupled analyses were conducted on multiple FGM material combinations. The results demonstrate that FGM pistons can reduce heat loss, improve thermal insulation, control deformation, and enhance overall piston durability and engine performance.
Objectives
The objective of this research was to evaluate the thermo-mechanical performance of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) pistons through zone-wise thermal and structural analyses. The study investigated different FGM material combinations to identify an optimal configuration that improves thermal insulation, reduces deformation, enhances durability, and supports efficient piston design under operating conditions.
Methodology
This research developed and validated an ANSYS APDL-based workflow to model the thermo-mechanical behavior of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs). A one-dimensional FGM solid block was first used as a validation model, where analytical solutions for temperature distribution, mechanical deformation, and thermo-mechanical deformation were compared with numerical results obtained from ANSYS APDL.
After successful validation, the workflow was applied to a Functionally Graded Material piston. Thermal, structural, and coupled thermo-mechanical analyses were performed to evaluate the performance of different FGM material combinations under engine operating conditions, enabling a zone-wise assessment of temperature distribution, deformation, and structural behavior.
Results
- Developed and validated an ANSYS APDL-based workflow for Functionally Graded Material (FGM) analysis.
- Numerical results showed good agreement with analytical solutions, confirming the accuracy of the proposed methodology.
- FGM pistons demonstrated improved thermal insulation and reduced heat loss compared to conventional piston materials.
- Zone-wise material grading provided better deformation control under thermo-mechanical loading.
- The study identified the potential of optimized FGM configurations to improve piston durability, thermal efficiency, and overall engine performance.
