Connecting rod
• Connecting Rod
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 crankpin and thus convert the reciprocating motion of the
piston into the rotary motion of the crank

10/14/2020 50
• The connecting rods are usually manufactured by drop forging
process and it should have adequate strength, stiffness and minimum
weight.
• The material mostly used for connecting rods varies from mild carbon
steels (having 0.35 to 0.45 percent carbon) to alloy steels (chrome-
nickel or chrome molybdenum steels).
•.

10/14/2020 51
• The carbon steel having 0.35 percent carbon has an ultimate tensile
strength of about 650 MPa when properly heat treated and a carbon steel
with 0.45 percent carbon has a ultimate tensile strength of 750 MPa.
• These steels are used for connecting rods of industrial engines.
• The alloy steels have an ultimate tensile strength of about 1050 MPa and
are used for connecting rods of aeroengines and automobile engines

10/14/2020 52
• Forces Acting on the Connecting Rod
The various forces acting on the connecting rod are as follows :
1. Force on the piston due to gas pressure and inertia of the
reciprocating parts,
2. Force due to inertia of the connecting rod or inertia bending forces,
3. Force due to friction of the piston rings and of the piston, and
4. Force due to friction of the piston pin bearing and the crankpin
bearing

10/14/2020 55
• Design of Connecting Rod
In designing a connecting rod, the following dimensions are required
to be determined :
1. Dimensions of cross-section of the connecting rod,
2. Dimensions of the crankpin at the big end and the piston pin at the
small end,
