Design and Simulation of Connecting Rods with Several Test Casesusing Al Alloys and High Tensile Steel
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The connecting rods designed recently are made from cast iron and carbon steel, which possess less tensile strength, toughness and durability. To improve such concern, this work aims in designing and analyzing the connecting rod with suitable dimensions over the crank end and piston end to be fitted in the two wheeler engine. The resultant material is tested under four cases with various materials, namely, Aluminium alloys and AISI High Tensile Steel 4340. Finite element analysis is carried out with the constructed material to test its tensile strength, stiffness and weight under various loads. In addition to this, the stress and strain measurement is considered to prove its reliability. All the test results show that the proposed material is reliable in terms of the material under different test cases
