Finite Element Analysis and Weight Reduction of H Beam Connecting Rod through Composite Material ALSIC using ANSYS

This technical review can clarify that why we will go for finite element method and composite material for optimizing H beam Connecting rod. From the literature survey it is found that most analysis is carried out on I section connecting rod. Researchers have developed a model by using cad software and then imported to the different analysis software. Most of the researchers have neglected the thermal analysis of connecting rod and considered connecting rod as a single piece. In actual condition big end of the connecting rod has two parts which are bolted together after assembled with crankshaft. In future it will be planned to carry the static analysis as well as thermal analysis of H beam connecting rod with considering bolted joint on big end side in latest ANSYS 14. We know that composite materials have properties of high strength to weight ratio as well as good chemical resistance properties so reducing weight and improving strength of Connecting rod by composite material.
