Design and Analysis of Connecting Rod for Different Material Using Ansys Workbench 16.2

Abstract

connecting rods are practically generally used in all varieties of automobile engines. Connecting rod acting as a converting intermediate link between the piston and the crankshaft of the engine, by the reciprocating motion of the piston to the rotary motion of crankshaft. Thus, this study aims to carry out for the load strain, stress, total deformation and analysis of factor of safety of pin end of the connecting rod of different materials. Generally connecting rods are manufactured using carbon steel and in recent days aluminium alloys are used for manufactured the connecting rods. In this work existing connecting rod material are replaced by beryllium alloy and magnesium alloy. Fea analysis was carried out by considering five material aluminium 360, forged steel, titanium alloy, ti-13v-11cr-3al, magnesium alloy, beryllium(alloy 25). In this study a solid 3d model of connecting rod was developed using solid works-2016 software and analysis was carried out by ansys 16.2 software and useful factors like stress, strain etc. Were obtained. Our main objective to determine best material for connecting rod after analysing at ansys workbench 16.2.
