OVERVIEW OF FATIGUE FAILURE OF CONNECTING ROD USED IN A LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLE (LCV) THROUGH FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Abstract
This study is carried out in view to verify and suggest design for reduction of mass & cost for connecting rod made by structural steel for 970 CC four cylinder four stroke engine. Every stroke in the engine is need to have to its nearby components to cyclic loading that push and pulls the crankshaft and connecting rod. The design of the connecting rod can be done in a specified manner, if study carried out to identify the effects of the operating loads on the component in the form of the type of stress induced with its higher value and the identification of areas where stresses over the component. While writing this paper, author has given main concentration mainly towards two major sections, finite element analysis and optimization for design and mass reduction.
