A Review Paper on Design Analysis of Connecting Rod

Abstract

This topic deals with the past literature survey which shows that, In an internal combustion engines and compressors, connecting rod is a high volume production, critical component which is periodically subjected to high tensile, compressive and bending loads caused by the thrust and pull on the piston and by the centrifugal force of the rotating crankshaft. The connecting rods can be manufactured by various methods and variety of materials but it depends on application, which technology and material to use. Existing connecting rods are mostly manufactured by using carbon steel. Aluminium and titanium alloys are strong and light weight alloys known. Titanium finds its application in high performance automotives where light weight but strength of components is also needed. ANSYS is the analysis tool to calculate Von mises stress, Von mises strain and deformation etc.
