Abstract

Abstract: Premature wear of the Gudgeon pin is the major concern for the company. Gudgeon pin connects the piston and the small end of the connecting rod of IC engines. This paper deals with Stress analysis and Fatigue analysis of Gudgeon pin used in diesel engine. In stress analysis frictional stresses and von-Mises stresses coming on Pin are determined using finite element analysis tool ANSYS 16. Effect of different factors on frictional stresses and Von-Mises stresses such as change in internal diameter of pin and application of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating are analyzed. In Fatigue analysis, fatigue life of Pin is determined using fatigue analysis tool FEMFAT 5.0 b. Effect of change in surface roughness of connecting rod small end bush and change in internal diameter of pin on fatigue life is analyzed.
