This document presents a numerical analysis of the thermal behavior and stress optimization of a piston made of functionally graded materials using ANSYS software. A piston model was developed in SolidWorks and analyzed in ANSYS to evaluate thermal stresses under different operating conditions like gas pressure and temperature. The analysis aimed to reduce stress concentration in high stress areas like the piston head and skirt. Various piston materials like aluminum alloys were considered to determine the optimal material for withstanding thermal loads while minimizing weight.
