Design and development of connecting rod by using analysis software
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The connecting rod is a crucial component in internal combustion engines, converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. This study aims to analyze the structural integrity and performance of a connecting rod using ANSYS, a sophisticated engineering simulation software. The primary focus is on evaluating the stress distribution, Eigen value of buckling, deformation and factor of safety under static loading conditions. This study focuses on the structural analysis of an engine connecting rod using ANSYS software. The analysis includes defining boundary conditions, such as fixed support at the crankshaft end and applying axial loads at the piston pin end. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used to evaluate stress distribution, deformation and potential failure points under operating conditions. The study aims to optimize the design for improved strength and durability while minimizing weight. The results provide insights into material selection and geometric modifications to enhance the connecting rod's performance.
