INTRODUCTION
1.1GENERAL INTRODUCTION
PISTON
A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas
compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms .It is the moving
the component that is contained by a cylinder and is made by gas tight by piston rings.
In an engine its purpose is to transfer case from expanding gas in the cylinder to the
crankshaft via a piston rod and or connecting rod . In a pump the function is reversed and
force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or
ejecting the fluid in the cylinder
CONNECTING ROD
A Connecting rod is a shaft which connects a piston to a crank or crankshaft
in a engine. Together with the crank it forms a simple mechanism that converts reciprocating
movement into rotating motion. A connecting rod may also convert rotating motion into
reciprocating motion its original use. Earlier mechanism such as the chain could only import
pulling motion. Being rigid a connecting rod may transmit either push or pull allowing the
rod to rotate the crankshaft through the two halves of revolution . In the few two stroke
engines the connecting rod is only required to push. Today the connecting rod is best known
through its use internal combustion piston engines such as automobile engines.
1.4CONSTRUCTION
A piston is a cylindrical engine component that slides back and forth in the cylinder
bore by forces produced during the combustion process. The piston acts as a movable
end of the combustion chamber.The stationary end of the combustion chamber is the
cylinder head. Pistons are commonly made of a cast aluminium alloy for excellent and
lightweight thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is the ability of a material to
conduct and transfer heat. Aluminium expands when heated, and proper clearance
must be provided to maintain free piston movement in the cylinder bore. Insufficient
clearance can cause the piston to seize in the cylinder. Excessive clearance can cause
a loss of compression and an increase in piston noise.Piston features include the
piston head, piston pin bore, piston pin, skirt, ring grooves, ring lands, and piston
rings. The piston head is the top surface (closest to the cylinder head) of the piston
which is subjected to tremendous forces and heat during normal engine
operation.A piston pin bore is a through hole in the side of the piston perpendicular to
piston travel that receives the piston pin.A piston pin is a hollow shaft that connects
the small end of the connecting rod to the piston. The skirt of a piston is the portion of
the piston closest to the crankshaft that helps align the piston as it moves in the
cylinder bore. Some skirts have profiles cut into them to reduce piston mass and to
provide clearance for the rotating crankshaft counterweightsA ring groove is a
recessed area located around the perimeter of the piston that is used to retain a piston
ring. Ring lands are the two parallel surfaces of the ring groove which function.Piston
rings commonly used on small engines include the compression ring, wiper ring, and
oil ring. A compression ring is the piston ring located in the ring groove closest to the
piston head. The compression ring seals the combustion chamber from any leakage
during the combustion process. When the air-fuel mixture is ignited, pressure from
combustion gases is applied to the piston head, forcing the piston toward the
crankshaft

ABSTRACT
The paper deals with study of the assembly of piston and connecting rod of a four wheeler
diesel engine. The components of the assembly have to be rigid and assembly has to be
moved as a mechanism. Hence the analysis to be involved a rigid body analysis. So the forces
in the components as the engine reciprocates have to be calculated and these forces are used
to calculate the dynamic stresses in the component of interest of connecting rod. It is
proposed to replace with two sets of materials for the components of the assembly and check
the parameters by performing the static,dynamic and thermal analysis.In this project the main
parts of the assembly engine piston,connecting rod are modeled and assembled as per the
given design.And the finite element analysis done. The meshing is done in HyperMesh.

To measure the dimensions of the component using measuring instruments such as
vernier calliper and measuring tape.
To study the function of piston and connecting rod and its components
The piston and connecting rod is the one of the most important component in the
engine.
They are required to run the engine and vehicle by converting chemical energy into
mechanical energy.
The piston plays the conversion of the rotary into linear.

5.1CONCLUSION
Piston features include the piston head, piston pin bore, piston pin, skirt, ring grooves, ring
lands, and piston rings. Today, the connecting rod is best known through its use in internal
combustion piston engines, such as automobile engines. These are of a distinctly different
design from earlier forms of connecting rod used in stream engines and stream locomotives.

LITERATURE REVIEW
NEWTONS LAW
‘If a body is in motion then it will remain in motion until and unless an external force is
applied to bring the body in rest’ as said by Newton.
PASCAL’S LAW
It states that when pressure is applied on a part of a liquid it is equally transmitted in the full
liquid in all direction.
PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD
This paper reviews piston and ring friction which can account for 65% of the mechanical
friction in an internal combustion engine.
It shows the cylinder linear lubrication is predominantly hydrodynamic with localized
contact between ring and linear at TDC firing.
The degree of the contact may increase during transition conditions.
The piston secondary motion is an important phenomenon in the internal combustion
engine.
It occurs due to the piston transfer and rotational motion during piston reciprocating
motion.
The piston secondary motion results in the engine friction and engine noise.there has been
lot of research activities going on in the piston secondary motion using both analytical
models and experimental studies.
These studies are aimed at reducing the engine friction as well as the noise generated due
to piston secondary motion.
