Design, Modeling and Analysis of AMM Connecting Rod

IC engine is heart of any vehicle, while in running conditions different components of engine undergoes static and dynamic loadings. The main aim of paper is to analyze static stresses developed in connecting rod. The Connecting rod transmits the piston load to the crank causing the latter to turn, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into a rotary motion of the crankshaft. Connecting rods are subjected to forces generated by mass and fuel combustion. Connecting rod is modeled using CATIA software and FE analysis is carried out using ANSYS Software. Connecting rods are subjected to static and dynamic loading forces generated by mass and fuel combustion. It undergoes high cyclic loads of the order of 108 to109cycles, which range from high compressive loads due to combustion, to high tensile loads due to inertia. The connecting rod has been the topic of research for the aspects such as production, performance, simulation, materials, etc.
