ABSTRACT
Connecting rod plays very vital role in engine. It converts reciprocating motion to rotary motion and vice
versa. It connects the piston and crank shaft. As a result of which connecting rod undergo various
deformation under various forces. That’s why material selection and designing of connecting rod should
be done very precisely. Connecting rod must be light in weight and it must have good strength under
fatigue and other loads.
In this assignment first we will design connecting rod according to given dimensions. After that we will
do its FEA in ANSYS. By doing so we will see how stresses going to damage the part or in other words we
will see stress concentration in the connecting rod.

Connecting Rod-1
At this stage first we design our model according to given dimensions in CATIA V5. Detailed drawing of
connecting rod is given below. Material we have chosen is structural steel. More details about its mass,
density, moment of inertia etc. We can see in coming tables.

FEA-1
In this very first analysis we will check our connecting rod against 1000N compressive force. Which will
be acting at the piston side bore. To do this analysis first we need to select the material which is
structural steel then we need to setup all forces and fixed points of the connecting rod. After setting up
the constraints then we will apply forces on it and run the analysis to get max. Stress, total deformation,
mechanical safety factor, fatigue safety factor.
