Abstract
One of the most important parts of an engine directly governing endurance is the piston,which periodicly bear the impact of heat load and mechanical load. High temperature, high pressure working environment make the piston pin hole bearing the maximum mechanical stress load position face even greater challenge. Piston boss works in the temperature of about 200 ℃, and the friction between the piston pin hole and piston pin also produces a high temperature load.Therefore，it is necessary to do the finite element analysis for the piston，clarify distribution of thermal stress and mechanical stress of the pistons to provide a basis for improving the design.This article establish piston range of 1/2 solid models by PRO/E.Then using ANSYS software to calculate mechanical stress and deformation of the piston, we obtain stress concentration inside the piston pin hole, and with a large deformation.In view of this, it proposes measures of improving piston structure design and adopts the structure of cast aluminum bronze embedded in the hole in the piston pin bushing. The results show that the program has made the stress inside the piston pin hole tend to be even，improved stress concentration phenomenon of the pin hole and reduced the surface stress peak of the pin hole and achieved the desired results.
