An avant garde study on design and analysis of honey comb structured piston

Abstract

Weight reduction of the engine is one of the methods that affect lower fuel consumption reduction. The piston is one of the primary parts in an automobile engine and the performance of the piston has a direct impact on performance of the engine. It is also subjected to high thermal load, mechanical load and cyclic variation which affect the fatigue life of the piston. Honeycomb structure is artificial structure having similar geometry of natural honeycomb. This particular structure enables minimization of material consumption there by reducing the weight and also the cost. The honeycomb structure will be a hexagonal in shape and provides relatively higher compression properties and load bearing capacity. To reduce the fuel consumption by means of weight reduction and to achieve the same level of loading capacity, the honeycomb structure is very opt one. In this paper, the geometric model and analysis of piston was developed using Dassault systems solid works corporation by considering generative structural analysis. In the present work aims an avant garde study on design and analysis of honeycomb structured piston for commercial vehicle TVS scooty pep model of Indian automotive vehicle.
