Design and Shape Optimization of Connecting Rod End Bearing through ANSYS

Abstract

Connecting rod is a part of internal combustion engine that performs very important task by converting the translator or reciprocating motion of piston to rotary motion of crankshaft. It is consisting of big end and small end; small end has attached to the piston pin and big end with the crankpin. Our main focus of study was to explore force on different type of shapes of connection rod. In this we perform detailed load analysis on various shape of connecting rod ends. In this research first generating proper models of connecting rod with different type of cross- section. we create I section connecting rod, H section connecting rod, rectangular section connecting rod. Then we analysis different loads of static structural and also analysis of buckling load of all types of con- necting rods using finite element method and FE analysis is carried out using ANSYS software
