Abstract

The connecting rod is the most relevant part of an automotive engine. The connecting rod is subjected to an extremely complex state of loading. High compressive and tensile loads are due to the combustion of fuel and connecting rod’s mass of inertia respectively. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the failure analysis of the connecting rod of motorbike. Static structural analysis using ANSYS and experimental analysis is conducted on connecting rod. The purpose of this study is to show the performance of connecting under different loading condition. After that, the work is carried out for geometry change and fatigue life. The Results of Analysis is compared with the Experimental results.
