Vibration Analysis of Two wheeler Connecting Rod
Yeshwant Rao | B S Praveen Kumar [3]
Abstract: The connecting rod in a automobile engine connects reciprocating piston to rotating crank shaft; transfers the thrust of piston to crankshaft; and converts the reciprocating motion of piston into rotary motion of the crankshaft. The literature survey suggests that the connecting rod fails during operating under various loading conditions. Maximum stresses are developed at fillet section of big and small ends. Hence it is very much essential to understand the various loads acting on it; and the vibrations produced during transmission of thrust. In our present work we are focused on experimental determination of compressive and tensile load behaviour of connecting rod made of cast iron. The various stresses are due to combustion and connecting rods mass of inertia respectively.
