Abstract |
|
Connecting rod is the intermediate link between the piston and the crank. It is responsible to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotary motion of the crank. The main idea of this study is to do analysis of connecting rod and get idea of stress producing during compressive and tensile loading. Later it gives idea about weight reduction opportunities for a production steel connecting rod. This has entailed performing a detailed load analysis. Therefore, this study contain two subjects, first, load and stress analysis of the connecting rod, and second, optimization for weight reduction. In the first part of the study, loads acting on the connecting rod and find out stresses. In second part the existing design is optimized and mass reduction is achieved. |
