Title: DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CONNECTING ROD USING ALUMINIUM ALLOY 7068 T6, T6511
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 thesis describes designing and Analysis of connecting rod. Currently existing connecting rod is manufactured by using Forged steel. In this drawing is drafted from the calculations. A parametric model of Connecting rod is modeled using SOLID WORK software and to that model, analysis is carried out by using ANSYS 15.0 Software. Finite element analysis of connecting rod is done by considering the materials, viz... Aluminium Alloy. The best combination of parameters like Von misses Stress and strain, Deformation, Factor of safety and weight reduction for two wheeler piston were done in ANSYS software. Aluminium Alloy has more factor of safety, reduce the weight, reduce the stress and stiffer than other material like Forged Steel. With Fatigue analysis we can determine the lifetime of the connecting rod.
