Abstract :
The prime objective of the proposed work is
to investigate the effects of different materials of
connecting rod over the performance. Hence the current
research approached a simulation-based design using
Solid works and Ansys workbench 20. The automotive
sectors are concentrating on weight reduction strategies,
which can be achieved by incorporating new designs,
cost-effective production processes, or employing
alternative materials. Researchers have been attempting
to optimize engine parts including the piston, crankshaft,
and connecting rod for a number of years. An essential
component of an external combustion engine, the
connecting rod is subjected to extreme pressures from
forces coming from the piston. It has been noted that the
engine's efficiency actually increases as its weight is
reduced. The main goal of this research is to introduce
new and superior replacement materials for the
connecting rod's existing material in order to mass-
reduce opportunities for general-purpose connecting
rods. The connecting rod in the proposed study was
created utilizing silicon carbide, titanium alloy, and
aluminium alloy components. The connecting rods made
of the new materials were created using the FEM
method.
