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. Existing connecting rod is manufactured by using Carbon steel. This paper describes modeling and analysis of connecting rod. In this project connecting rod is replaced by alloy steel (35mn2mo28) & alloy aluminum (74530). A 2D drawing is drafted from the calculations. A parametric model of connecting rod is modeled using PRO-E 4.0 software. Analysis is carried out by using ANSYS software. Finite element analysis of connecting rod is done by considering two materials, viz... alloy steel (35mn2mo28) & alloy aluminum (74530). 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.
