Connecting Rod, weight, finite element analysis, Topology optimization.

To obtain optimized weight of connecting rod of an air compressor which can withstand the load acting on it due to compressed gases. The connecting rod is used to convert the rotatory motion of electric motor to the oscillatory motion of the piston. The rod is subjected to the cyclic loads of compression and tension. The optimized connecting rod with reduced weight results in the reduced inertial forces in the system. The objective is to design and analysis the structural stress distribution of connecting rod using real time condition during process. Depending upon loading condition FE analysis of connecting rod can be done. Based upon loading gas pressure and compressor specification loading can be calculated. The modeling of the connecting rod is done on Catia V5 and analysis work is done on ANSYS 19.2. The parameters like Von misses stress, Von misses strain and displacement was obtained from ANSYS software which shows reduction in weight and improvement in strength The overall results of the analysis are also validated by the analytical method and UTM machine. Thus the process results in the optimized and effective connecting rod.
