Static, quasistatic and buckling analysis of 600 hp engine connecting rod

Abstract

We have involved in the design & development of 600 hp indigenous engine with an aim to suit the power-pack requirements of our vehicle. In view of the above, it is planned to analyze the crank train components viz., Piston, Connecting rod, Crankshaft etc., for their structural strength for the given load condition. Hence it is proposed to carry out a detailed static, quasistatic and buckling analysis of connecting rod. The objective of this study is to analyse the connecting rod of the 600 hp diesel engine for the induced stresses due to static, quasistatic and buckling load. The net force acting due to the gas pressure and the inertia, is applied on the top of the piston. The reaction forces produced at each end of the connecting rod were predicted and given as input load for this analysis from the data generated through simulation. This report predicts the induced stresses and the buckling load estimation by the connecting rod of 600 hp engine.
