Connecting Rod Deformation and Statical Stress Analysis Using Various Materials: A Review

Abstract

Abstract: In the world of engineering, connecting rods play a crucial role in ensuring that an engine runs smoothly and efficiently. Made from a variety of materials, these rods connect the pistons to the crankshaft, allowing for proper transfer of energy throughout the system. But with so many options available, which material is best? In this review paper, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of various materials used for making connecting rods. From traditional steel advanced composites analysed using ANSYS FEA software, read on to discover how each material stacks up in terms of performance and durability.
