DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CONNECTING ROD USING

BERYLLIUM MATERIAL

ABSTRACT

The Connecting rod is the intermediate member between the piston and the

Crankshaft. Its primary function is to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin

to the crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary

motion of the crank. Existing connecting rod is manufactured by using Carbon

steel. This project describes modeling and analysis of connecting rod. In this project

connecting rod is replaced by Beryllium material for Apache RTR 160. A

2Dimensional drawing is drafted from the calculations. A parametric model of

connecting rod is modeled using 3d modelling software called SOLIDWORKS

2016. Analysis is carried out by using ANSYS WORKBENCH R 2016 software.

Finite element analysis of connecting rod is done by considering materials, via...

Beryllium. The structural parameters like Von misses stress and strain,

Deformation for two wheeler Connecting rod were done in ANSYS. Compared to

carbon steel, The Beryllium is found to have working factor of safety is high, to

reduce the weight up to 25% to increase the stiffness by 40% and to reduce the

stress by 30%.
