Investigation on Structural Analysis of Flat Head Piston

In the investigation on structural analysis of flat head piston deflection and stress equations plays major role in mathematical modeling. The same has been used in this analysis. In the part of the analysis the thickness of the flat head of the piston is considered as the same of that of simply supported circular plate and the loads are applied on it reacts with the supports held at the top of the gudgeon hole. The piston is same as one side closed cylinder and ended with flat circular plate. It is the most general that the deflections due to axial loads are neglected. Hence the deflection and stress equations of the simply supported circular plate are adopted. Aluminum is taken as material of the component throughout the analysis and grey cast iron is taken as material for the rings in the modeling of the piston. Flexural rigidity plays a major role in the calculation for the analysis. The results of the mathematical analysis have been compared with the same of that of simulation using ANSYS software.
