Abstract: During the combustion of fuel in diesel engine, high temperature and pressure will be created as engine runs at high speed and loads. This results in development of high thermal and structural stresses in the piston and if these stresses exceed the design value, failure of piston may take place. To avoid these failures, intensity of stresses should be avoided. In this work an attempt is made to reduce the intensity of stresses by replacing conventional aluminum alloy material of piston with aluminum silicon carbide composite by commercial analysis software package ANSYS.
