A Structural Analysis of a Connecting Rod using FEA
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The project mainly deals with the design, analysis and manufacture of connecting rod. The connecting rod is an integral part of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders among others with similar mechanisms. In an engine, the main objective of the connecting rod is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft. The design of the connecting rod and analyzing the manufacturing process of it. The temperature of connecting rod has a significant influence on efficiency, emission, performance of the SI engine. The purpose of these studies is to measure the transient temperature of connecting rod at different points on the connecting rod, from cold start to steady condition and compare those values with the standard results of finite element analysis. In this project, the connecting rod is modelled and assembled with the help of SOLID WORKS software and the component is meshed and analysis is done in ANSYS software and the modal and static behaviour is studied and the results are tabulated. The various stresses acting on the connecting rod under various loading conditions have been studied. In the present work, the focus on the following aspects is to overcome the research gaps and to display the results based on the systematic studies:
