CNTs play an important role in engineering applications, especially in engine pistons design for the next-generation of motorcycles. This work presents a comprehensive analyses using finite element method under actual operating conditions purpose performance evaluation of a motorcycle engine piston design, investigating the suitability of four distinct materials. Precise material properties adhering to linear elastic isotropic behavior were defined within the software environment and proposed advanced nanomaterial ensuring accurate representations of the proposed under the prescribed loading scenarios. The primary objective was to identify the optimal material choice for the piston, ensuring superior strength, minimal deformation, and lightweight characteristics essential for high-performance engine applications. Moreover interpreting and understanding the dynamic behavior of common and advanced engineering materials. Through a comprehensive evaluation of the simulation results, incorporating factors such as material strength, deformation characteristics, and lightweight considerations, the Aluminum alloy reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes (Al-CNTs) emerged as the most favorable choice for the motorcycle engine piston design. This advanced composite material offers an exceptional combination of high strength, minimal deformation, and reduced weight, making it an ideal candidate for high-performance engine components subjected to substantial mechanical stresses and thermal loads. The study provides valuable insights into material selection strategies and design optimization techniques for critical automotive and aerospace components, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and adherence to stringent performance standards. Furthermore, the deformation patterns were analyzed, with maximum displacements of 0.01057 mm for AISI 1020 steel, 0.01006 mm for Alloy Steel, 0.01810 mm for Al-CNTs, and 0.02836 mm for 2618-T61 aluminum alloy. Al-CNTs composite demonstrated one of the two lowest surface deformations with significant improvement in high compression tolerance of 265.9 MPa achieved a safety factor of 2.25 with significant reduction in piston weight, further enhancing its suitability for the high-performance piston application. Eventually, the study result and analysis provides valuable insights into material selection strategies and design optimization techniques for critical motorcycle, automotive and aerospace components, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and adherence to stringent performance standards.
