Abstract

In the presented work an I.C. Engine Connecting Rod is undertaken to analyse and design the dynamic changes of boundary condition in running engine are investigated using modal analysis performed using ANSYS to determine the required boundary conditions. Using the same boundary conditions and by analytically designing the connecting rod according to specific engine specifications of TVS Apache 150 model. On the model, parametric study is carried out to know the effect of input parameter such as shank fillet radius and shank thickness both near the big end as well as the small end side off the connecting rod. Based on the parametric study, an optimized value for shank fillet radius is obtained which is found that there is considerable reduction of maximum value of Von Misses stress as well as deformations obtained for the modal analysis performed on the modified model of the connecting rod.
