Abstract

A connecting rod is a engine member which is subjected to alternating direct compressive and tensile forces. Since the compressive forces are much higher than the tensile force, therefore the cross-section of the connecting rod is designed as a different cross section and the rankine formula is used. A connecting rod subjected to a cyclic as well as axial load W may buckle with x-axis as neutral axis in the plane of rotation of the connecting rod, or y-axis is a neutral axis. The connecting rod is considered like both ends hinged for buckling about x-axis and one end is fixed and other end load is applied for buckling about y-axis. A connecting rod should be equally strong in buckling about either axis.
