“…Fig 5 shows the comparison of the maximum stress in the connecting rod model. As put forward by [1], the greatest stress occurs at the small end of the connecting rod. Therefore, connecting rod failure is more likely to happen at the oil hole and the fillet section of the big end of connecting rod.…”

“…The increasing number of motorcycles in Indonesia leads to a vast number of accidents, particularly due to the failure of the engine components. One of the most frequent failures occurs in the connecting rod because of the static and dynamic forces that work there and heavy loads it withstands [1]. The topography of Indonesia, which consists of hills, lowlands and highlands and the poor quality of roads may also contribute to connecting rod failure.…”

A connecting rod is one of the most critical parts in engine assembly which transfers energy from the piston to the crankshaft. The connecting rod mainly undergoes tensile and compressive loading under engine cyclic process. The forces acting on the connecting rod are forces due to maximum combustion pressure and forces due to the inertia of the connecting rod. This research aimed to analyze the design of the connecting rod of single-cylinder four-stroke engines. This study used CAD software for modeling and structural design. Stresses generated across all the locations of the connecting rod were evaluated using FEA Software. Elastic linear analysis of model design was also performed. The simulation results in this study have led to the conclusion that failure occurred due to the incorrect selection of materials. Among all materials under study, AA 6061 is considered the most suitable material for use at high RPM. In fact, aluminum is preferable for use at high RPM.

“…Inspection of the available literature demonstrates that the finite element method (FEM) [2][3][4] used for mechanical behavior simulation and the hot-pressing map [5][6][7][8][9] is critical in the design analysis process. Liao et al studied the hot deformation behaviors of Al-Si-Mg alloys by hot compressive tests using a Gleebe-3500 thermal simulator.…”

Powder-forged connecting rod with a complex geometry shape always has a problem with nonuniform density distribution. Moreover, the physical property of preform plays a critical role for optimizing the connecting rod quality. The flow behavior of a Fe-3Cu-0.5C (wt pct) alloy with a relative density of 0.8 manufactured by powder metallurgy (P/M, Fe-Cu-C) was studied using isothermal compression tests. The material constitutive equation, power dissipation (g) maps, and hot processing maps of the P/M Fe-Cu-C alloy were established. Then, the hot forging process of the connecting rod preforms was simulated using the material constitutive model based on finite element method simulation. The calculated results agree well with the experimental ones. The results show that the flow stress increases with decreasing temperature and increasing strain rate. The activation energy of the P/M Fe-Cu-C alloy with a relative density of 0.8 is 188.42 kJ/mol. The optimum temperature at the strain of 0.4 for good hot workability of sintered Fe-Cu-C alloy ranges from 1333 K to 1380 K (1060°C to 1107°C). The relative density of the hot-forged connecting rod at the central part changed significantly compared with that at the big end and that at the small end. These present theoretical and experimental investigations can provide a methodology for accurately predicting the densification behavior of the P/M connecting rod preform during hot forging, and they help to optimize the processing parameters.

“…Every internal combustion engine requires at least one or more connecting rods depend on the number of cylinder used in I C Engine. [1] Connecting rod transmits thrust force which is developed in the cylinder because of the combustion of the fuel during the power cycle, to the crankshaft for availing the rotational motion to drive a vehicle. It acts as an intermediate link between piston and crankshaft which converts the reciprocating motion of piston into the rotary motion of the crankshaft.…”

Abstract-Connecting rod is one of the very important and critical components employed in an internal combustion engine which transmits thrust force which is developed in the cylinder because of the combustion of the fuel during the power cycle, to the crankshaft for availing the rotational motion to drive a vehicle. The objective of the work is to find critical buckling stress for existing material used (C70S6) and new material (Ultrafine grained material AA2618) by numerical method and FEM method and to optimize the connecting rod. The new material used for connecting rod is ultrafine grained material aluminium alloy AA2618.Now a day ultrafine grained materials are widely using in different automobile sector. First the Model of connecting rod is prepared in solidworks software, which is analyzed for both the material C70S6 and AA2618 analytically (Using Rankine's formula) as well as using ANSYS software.Comparisions are made for both the material. Results are found that Critical Buckling stresses (using Rankine Formula) for AA2618 is 45.05% is less compared to C70S6 material and Critical Buckling stress (using ANSYS method) for AA2618 is 51.58% is less compared to C70S6 material.
