Analysis of Connecting Rod

Abstract

The internal combustion engine (ICE) consists connecting rod which is connected to piston and crankshaft to transfer power generated during working of engine from piston to crankshaft, which further is connected to gear box and simultaneously transferred to wheels as required for making the car move. This connecting rod is considered an important part of engine so as to transfer power which in case needs to be durable and efficient for a long time without effect the performance of engine in most cases. As the influence of stresses is more in connecting rod the connecting rod needs to be stable and perform efficiently under these stresses so to avoid any loss of power and obtain maximum performance.

The main objective of this paper is to carry FEA, static structural analysis on connecting rod using 2 different materials under these stresses and obtain knowledge of which material is more suitable for manufacturing connecting rod, through simulation as it is more efficient way of testing in depiction of real world scenarios then making prototype and performing physical tests.
