Model of piston
Thermal Stress Field
This field arises from temperature variations within the material,
leading to expansion or contraction that generates internal stresses
Mechanical Stress Field
This field is created by external loads and forces acting on the piston,
resulting in deformation and stress distribution throughout the material
Thermal and Mechanical Coupling Stress Field
This field represents the interaction between thermal and mechanical
stresses, where temperature changes affect the mechanical response of
the material, creating a combined effect that influences overall
performance
MODEL OF PISTON
In the study on finite element analysis (FEA) of pistons
using ANSYS, mesh generation is a critical aspect that
significantly influences the accuracy and reliability of

BOUNDARY CONDITION
Boundary conditions are critical components in finite element analysis (FEA) that define how a physical system
interacts with its environment at its boundaries. They serve as constraints that ensure the uniqueness and
stability of the solution to differential equations governing the behavior of the system
