    The document discusses the design of the connecting rod shank, which connects the piston to the crankshaft. It describes the forces acting on the shank, including compressive and tensile forces. The document outlines the process for designing the shank's cross-section, including calculating its length, area, and moment of inertia. Design considerations include withstanding alternating compressive and tensile forces while maintaining a strength safety factor. An example calculation is provided to design a connecting rod shank for a carburetor engine using given dynamic force values and material properties.

    ENGINEERING PSG COLLEGE OF CONNECTING ROD SHANK
    TECHNOLOGY
    INTRODUCTION

    • A connecting rod is the part of a piston engine which connects the

    piston to the crankshaft.

    • Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating

    motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft.

    • The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and

    tensile forces from the piston.


    • The primary function of a connecting rod is to create a link between the piston and crankshaft so as to

    transmit power.

    • The conrod help to deliver lubricating oil to the cylinder walls and wrist pin or gudgeon pin.

    • A section beam connecting the Big-End (attached to the side of the crank pin) and the Small-End

    (attached to the face of the piston pin) of the connecting rod is known as the Shank.
    • The cross-section of the shank may be Rectangular, Circular, Tubular, I-Section or H-

    Section.

    • Generally Circular section is used for Low speed engines while the I-Section is

    preferred for High speed engines


    • The length of the rod depends on the ratio of (l/r)

    • Where, l = length of the shank and r = radius of the shank.

    • If the length is low then the l/r ratio will also be low, Due to this, the rod will increase in angularity due to which

    the side thrust on the piston will increase which causes increasing linear wear.

    • In the same way, if the length is more then the ratio of l / k will be more. Due to this, the angularity of the rod will

    decrease, so due to this, the side thrust on the piston will also decrease which causes less wear is obtained in the

    cylinder.

    • The higher the length, the more the engine size will also increase, so the ratio of l/r is kept between 4 and 5.
    FORCES ACTING ON THE
    CONROD SHANK
    DESIGN OF SHANK

    • The connecting rod shank is designed for fatigue strength at middle section under the effect of

    alternating total forces occurring when the engine is operating.

    • Generally, the computations are made for operation at a maximum power.

    • The safety factor for the section is determined in the plane in which the connecting rod is rocking and

    in a perpendicular plane.

    • The connecting rod is equally strong in both planes


    The force compressing the connecting rod attains its maximum at the beginning of power stroke at p , and is defined
    by

    Pcom = Pg+Pj =

    The tension force acting on the connecting rod attains its maximum at the beginning of induction (at T.D.C.) and is
    also defined by
    Compressing forces PCom in section B-B produce maximum stresses of compression and longitudinal bending

    And

    L1 = LCr - (d + d1)/2
    J 1 = [hshb3sh - (hsh - 2tsh) (bsh - ash)3]/12
    Design of a connecting rod shank for carburetor engine.
    From the dynamic analysis we have: PCom, = Pg + Pj = 14,505 N or O.0145 MN at φ= 3700;

    Pt = Pg + Pj = 11 500 N or 0.0115 MN at φ= 0; LCr.= 136.8 mm.

    we assume: hsh = 23 mm; bsh = 16 mm; ash = 3.2 mm; fSh = 3.4 mm.
    From the design of the small and big ends we have: d = 24.4 mm, d1 = 52 mm; the strength
    characteristics
    of the connecting rod material are those of steel, grade 45r2.
    The area and inertia moments of design section B-B are:
    where kσ= 1.2 + 1.8 x (σ b - 400) = 1.2 + 1.8 x 10^-4 x (800 - 400) = 1.272;
    (They must be greater than 1.5)
