“3D Modeling & Analysis of Connecting Rod & Comparison With The Composite Material”
Keywords:
Connecting Rod, Parametric Modeling Tool, FEA Tool, Composite MaterialAbstract
Connecting rod is an important part of I.C. Engine which form link between piston and crankshaft to
convert the linear reciprocating motion of piston to the rotary motion of the crankshaft. Till now, vast research is
going on the field of metallurgy and large number of newly developed (Composite) materials are available to select
materials for particular application. In the study of connecting rod, first we created the model of connecting rod
through the Parametric Modeling software and done the analysis through the FEA tool and then replaced the existing
material with the composite material to figure it out which one was better.
