How do they make connecting rods?
Connecting rods - are mostly produced by forging processes today.
Forged connecting rods have a relatively great weight, which makes the balancing of the masses of the crank mechanism difficult..
What are the design requirements of connecting rod?
Mass of the connecting rod
0.439 kg | Izz about the center of gravity | 0.00144 kg |
Distance of C.G. from crank end center | 36.44 mm |
Maximum gas pressure | 37.29 Bar |
.What are the different connecting rod designs?
The connecting rod has a long shank which can be designed to take the form of rectangular, tubular, cir- cular, I-section and H-section.
Circular section is generally used on the slow speed engines while the I-section is used on high-speed engines..
What are the materials used in connecting rod design and analysis?
Connecting rods can be made from Carbon steel and Aluminium alloy, Aluminium alloy has some superior properties in comparison to Carbon steel like high tensile strength and light weight.
Titanium also provides the combination of these properties but here to compromise with affordability..
What is modal analysis of connecting rod?
Connecting rod is an important component of the automobile engine dynamic system, it is not only a transmission component but also moving part, at the same time it must withstand variable load such as tensile, compressive force and bending in the working process..
What is the design process for connecting rod design?
A connecting rod is a machine member which is subjected to alternating direct compressive and tensile forces.
Since the compressive forces are much higher than the tensile forces, therefore the cross-section of the connecting rod is designed as a strut and the Rankine's formula is used..

Circular section is generally used on the slow speed engines while the I-section is used on high-speed engines. - The main methods for studying connecting rod durability include modeling, in-field tests, and simulation durability tests.
Modeling is convenient, fast, low cost, and popular.
In-field tests can reveal connecting rod working conditions, but the test cycle is long, costly, and cannot be reinforced.
