Analysis of Connecting Rod Using Analytical and Finite Element Method
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The connecting rod is a major link inside of a combustion engine. It connects the piston to the crankshaft and is responsible for transferring power from the piston to the crankshaft and sending it to the transmission. There are different types of materials and production methods used in thecreation of connecting rods. The most common types of materials used for connecting rods are steel and aluminum. Connecting rods are widely used in variety of engines such as, in-line engines, V-engine, opposed cylinder engines, radial engines and oppose-piston engines.For the project work we have selected connecting rod used in light commercial vehicle of tata motors hadrecently been launched in the market. We used PRO-E wildfire 4.0 software for modeling of connecting rod and ANSYS 11 software for analysis. ANSYS Workbench module had been used for analysis of connecting rod. We found out the stresses developed in connecting rod under static loading with different loading conditions of compression and tension at crank end and pin end of connecting rod. We have also designed the connecting rod by machine design approach. Design of connecting rod which is designed by machine design approach is compared with actual production drawing of connecting rod. We found that there is possibility of further reduction in mass of connecting rod
