Dynamic Analysis and Parametric Optimisation of the Connecting Rod Using Autodesk Inventor
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents a case study on optimising a connecting rod, component of a spark-ignition engine, in order to minimise its weight and lower the inertia forces. For this purpose, we use the Autodesk Inventor Professional 2016 (AIP2016) software containing tools that enable either the dynamic analysis to determine the reactions of the connecting rod joints or the finite element analysis for optimising the connecting rod. The result of the optimisation is a lighter and slimmer connecting rod, which implies smaller inertial forces and reduced engine weight, resistant to the stresses subjecting it and ensuring safe operation.
