Abstract:

The stress and deformations are analyzed for the connecting rod made of steel material or special cast iron by applying pressure on it in structural analysis in this article. Structural analysis was performed in ANSYS software. An analysis of static stress and damages due to the application of pressure is presented and analyzed in this work. By observing the analysis results, we can decide whether our designed connecting rod is safe or not under applied load conditions. Investigation of complex problems with respect to friction and wear (clearances), stresses and strains phenomena in connecting rod of piston machines gives the opportunity to solve the problems of increasing the durability of these machines.
