Abstract
The focus of this study is to carry out stress analysis of the connecting rod of compression ignition engine using finite element method. Commercial finite element code ANSYS is used to perform this investigation. Four different materials viz., A356, A356-5%SiC-10% Flyash stir cum squeeze casting, A356-5%SiC-10% Flyash stir casting, and Al2024-T3 is selected for the connecting rod. Static structural mechanical properties namely, total deformation, equivalent elastic strain, and equivalent (von-misses) stress is calculated. A356-5%SiC-10% Flyash stir cum squeeze casting material gives the lesser total deformation, equivalent elastic strain and equivalent stress values among all the tested materials. Total deformation of A356-5%SiC-10% Flyash stir cum squeeze casting material is reduced by 38.50% in comparison with base material (A356). Moreover, the equivalent stress distribution of A356-5%SiC-10% Flyash stir cum squeeze casting material is nearly same with the base material (A356).
