Abstract : The connecting rod must be able to carry axial pressure/tension and bending stress brought on by the thrust and pull on the piston as well as by centrifugal force. Bending stresses are induced by eccentricity, the crankshaft, case wall deformation, and rotating mass force. connecting rod fatigue is investigated in this work. ANSYS is used to conduct the investigation. The goal of this study is to identify and analyze the connecting rod technical fault that is impacted by reversal loading during its operation life. The results indicate that a longer connecting rod life can be expected under fully reversed loading and also identify any potential weak areas. Additionally, 108 load cycles were added to the permitted number when fully reversal loading was used. The findings could potentially lead to changes in the connecting rod's design, some believe.
