Abstract :
The project report presents a procedure for weight optimization process through Ansys software using finite element analysis. The automobile engine connecting rod is a high volume production component. It undergoes high cyclic loads such as high compressive loads due to combustion, to high tensile loads due to inertia. It connects reciprocating piston to rotating crankshaft, transmitting the thrust of the piston to the crankshaft. Every vehicle that uses an internal combustion engine requires at least one connecting rod depending upon the number of cylinders. In this project, finite element analysis for connecting rod is taken as a case study. So firstly a proper Finite Element Model is developed using CATIA V5R20 .Then the Finite element analysis is done to determine the Von Mises stresses in the existing connecting rod for the given loading conditions using Finite Element Analysis software ANSYS WORKBENCH 9.0. In the first part of the study, the static loads acting on the connecting rod, after that the work is carried out for safe design. Based on the observations of the static FEA and the load analysis results, the load for the optimization study was selected. It achieve saving in material, weight and cost for manufacturing of connecting rod.
