As for the properties on both the aluminum and the CFRP which are used to make CFRP/AL7075 hybrid composites, CARALL (carbon reinforced aluminum laminate). In the CARALL specimen for rule of mixture, we were analyzed notched strength by finite element method. The results obtained from FEM notched strength analysis and experimental are as follows; In the unnotch CARALL specimen, the stresses imposed CFRP, epoxy, A17075 obtained by finite element method strength solution for A/C9991, when strain 0.48%, are 392 Mpa, 26 Mpa and 321 Mpa, respectively. The slope of the stress-strain curve by FEM increase in keeping with the hole size and the yield strain decrease to 36% and 55% for A/C9993 and A/C9991 respectively. And an agreement is found between the experimental results and the FEM analytical prediction results.

Based on the combination of modal analysis technology and finite element method (FEM), the 3D model of a diesel engine’s connecting rod was established with UG software, and then a free modal analysis of it was carried out with ANSYS. Through the analysis, the inherent frequencies and mode shapes of first 5 order modes were obtained respectively. The free modes of the connecting rod were verified by testing using hammer beat method.

Thermal analysis of different types of the connecting rods are under stead state condition using finite element method. The energy equation and heat transfer equation in the solids are completely addressed and solved using the Newton-Raphson technique and finite element method. SOLID WORKS is used for modelling different types of connecting rods and ANSYS© software is used to perform this numerical investigation. Three different materials like structural steel, aluminium alloy and titanium are selected as the material of connecting rod to do the comparative studies. In a steady thermal analysis, properties like temperature distribution, total heat flux and directional heat flux are calculated. The knowledge of the above properties is required to identify the viscosity of oil used for lubrication and also temperature distribution is helpful to find the thermal deformation in the connecting rod. Temperature and convection co-efficient are the boundary conditions. 22°C is the initial temperature value and the value of convection co-efficient is 350W/m2°C. As a result of thermal analysis, titanium alloy is the best material among the three materials as it with stand higher temperatures, high lifecycle and high performance.

Connecting rod fatigue in a certain type of diesel engine is analyzed by using finite element analysis method and the FEM software ANSYS. According the actual working conditions, the three-dimensional model with multi-body contact is established to simulate the contact between the connecting rod parts; By using APDL language programming, the work load on the connecting rod, calculated according all the link work loads, is applied to the connecting rod bearing and bushing through the oil film pressure distribution. By finite element method structural strength of the connecting rod was calculated, that can effectively guide the connecting rod design, which has been proved by practice.

The connecting rod is the intermediate member between the piston and the Crankshaft. Its primary function is to transmit the push and pull from the piston pin to the crank pin, thus converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank. Existing connecting rod is manufactured by using Carbon steel. The axial stresses are produced due to cylinder gas pressure (compressive only) and the inertia force arising in account of reciprocating action (both tensile as well as compressive), where as bending stresses are caused due to the centrifugal effects. The result of which is, the maximum stresses are developed at the fillet section of the big and the small end. Hence, the project deals with the stress analysis of connecting rod by Finite Element Method ANSYS WORKBENCH 16.0 Software. The main objective in this paper to review on design evaluation and optimization of connecting rod parameters by using finite element method is to achieve suitable design for connecting rod. That can be achieved by changing such design parameters in the existing design. Finite element analysis of single cylinder four stroke petrol engines is taken for the study; Structural systems of Connecting rod can be easily analyzed using Finite Element techniques. So firstly a proper Finite Element Model is developed using CAD software. Then static and dynamic analysis is done to determine the von Misses stress, shear stress, elastic strain, total deformation in the present design connecting rod for the given loading conditions using Finite Element Analysis Software ANSYS v 16.In the first part of the study, the static and dynamic loads acting on the connecting rod, After that the work is carried out for safe design. Based on the observations of the static FEA and the load analysis results, the load for the optimization study was selected. The results were also used to determine of various stress and the fatigue model to be used for analyzing the fatigue strength. Outputs of the fatigue analysis of include fatigue life, damage, factor of safety, stress biaxiality indication. Then results of present model in ANSYS 16.0 are compared with the results of existing design in the reference paper.
