The frictional loss of piston cylinder jacket system accounts for up to about 50% of the total mechanical power of engine. Peculiarity of sea shells in standing wear and tear is closely related to the stripe shape and ridge form on their surface. When piston
the main part of an engine
reciprocates within cylinder jacket
skirt and cylinder wall will produce periodic collision and abrasion. We conducted a bionic design on the piston skirt. The form of shell's surface was designed with vertical stripes through machining grooves along the axial direction of piston skirt in order to reduce attrition
release concentrated stress and improve fatigue life. First
through the thermal-mechanical coupling finite element analysis on both standard and bionic pistons
we analyzed the strain and stress of every part of the piston. Then we obtained the fatigue life of every part of the bionic piston according to Manson and Coffin formula. A partial orthogonal polynomial regression design on the fatigue life was conducted to find the inherent rules among test level
factors and fatigue life. Optimal bionic piston and standard piston were selected to conduct bench test and mechanism analysis. Results show that the grooves along the axial direction of piston skirt
with shallow or narrow and a large spacing
can improve the fatigue life of pistons. The wear and tear of the bionic piston is decreased by 41.4%
and the average temperature is lowered by 7% compared with standard piston.
