Design and Analysis of Connecting Rod Assessment task: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Mechanical Design Due date: 17:00(Australia Melbourne Region Time Zone) Saturday 20th May 2017 Note:-Please Deliver the assignment on time Task Students are required to design and perform stress analysis on one of the car or motorcycle component Connecting Rod. The design Should be done on CAD software- Autocad Inventor 2015, and the stress analysis should be done in Audodesk Inventor Software. Students will need to submit a report for assessing by the due date. The report should include: - Select a particular model of a car or motorcycle engine - Why the particular part (Connecting Rod) is chosen to be investigated? - A detailed description and technical drawing(s) of the selected part – Connecting Rod - Position and function of the part in the car or motorcycle - A description of load and stress types and positions on the part - Material should be selected based on the particular model of an engine (choose any car’s or motorcycle engine). - Use pin constrain for the connection part piston pin and connecting rod as shown in the attached image. - Apply the Bearing load on the connecting rod. - Dimension of the connecting rod should be selected based on the particular model of the engine that we choose - FEA should show the type of forces applied on the crankshaft - The design and FEA procedure and outcomes (should include design calculation and steps) - You should calculate the bearing pressure theoretically by using the compression ratio of a particular engine. (Very important) - The below image shows the formula of compression ratio - Word count should be 3800. - References (In APA format & Intext citation too) Aim This task aims to familiarise students with Finite Element Analysis in Mechanical design with the aid of computer software. Students will have the opportunity to further develop their self-learning and report writing skills. Assessment Word processing software must be used to prepare the report. The report must be presented professionally. Drawings must be presented in first angle projection using CAD software. Plagiarism (copy and paste from the internet, papers, or your peers) will receive substantial penalties and will be recorded in the system. Figure: Pin load Figure: Bearing load
