Abstract
The connecting rod is the intermediate member between the piston and the Crankshaft. Its primary function is to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to the crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank. This report describes designing and Analysis of connecting rod as well as finding alternate material for connecting rod. Currently existing connecting rod is manufactured by using Carbon steel. In this drawing is drafted from the calculations. A parametric model of Connecting rod is modelled using CATIA V5 R21 software and to that model, analysis is carried out by using ANSYS 18.1 Software. Finite element analysis of connecting rod is done by considering the materials, viz. SAE 4340, 42CrMo4 & Al 7075-T651. The best combination of parameters like Von misses Stress and strain, Deformation, Factor of safety and weight reduction for heavy duty vehicle piston were done in ANSYS software. The present work has been established to replace the existing connecting rod made of forged steel with the aluminium MMC connecting rod for weight optimization.
Keywords- Analysis, Connecting rod, FEA, Dynamic, Optimisation, etc.
