Design and Comparative Performance Analysis of Two Wheeler connecting Rod with Silicon Nitride and Aluminum7068 by Finite Element Analysis

EasyChair Preprint 4164

Abstract

A connecting rod is an intermediate link between the Piston and the Crankshaft. The primary function of the connecting rod is to transmit the motion from the piston pin to the crank pin, thus converting reciprocating motion of a piston into the rotary motion of crank. Connecting rod plays an important role while designing the Diesel or Petrol Engine. The changes in the material (Al7068 alloy and Si₃N₄) of the connecting rod to increase its strength to weight ratio while maintaining or reducing the maximum stress, maximum strain and the maximum deformation developed during loading. The performance of the component can be analyze by using the ANSYS software and the properties of the material can be find out by performing different tests, after manufacturing the composite material by using an appropriate fabrication process, connecting rod has been modelled in CREO according to specific engine specifications of TVS Apache 150 model. Stress, Strain and the deformation analysis of the connecting rod is carried on the ANSYS WORKBENCH.

Keyphrases: ANSYS Workbench, Al7068, Aluminum matrix composite, Connecting rod, Si3N4
