Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the thermo mechanical behavior of a titanium piston and to investigate the potential for weight reduction. This is achieved through the use of computer-aided design software (CATIA) and finite element analysis software (ANSYS). The study involves the design and modeling of the piston using CATIA, followed by the analysis of the thermo mechanical behavior of the piston using ANSYS. The results of the analysis are then used to optimize the design of the piston with the aim of reducing its weight while maintaining its structural integrity.
