Internal parts of the engine is an important link, the link is to effect reciprocation of the piston into rotary motion of the crankshaft, and the piston acting on the gas pressure to the crank set. Role of the piston rod and the crankshaft are coupled together, the reciprocating linear motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank to the output power, therefore, the connecting rod will directly affect the precision of the performance of the diesel engine, and the process selection is direct The main factors that affect the accuracy. Link at work, in addition to withstand the pressure generated by combustion of gas, but also to withstand the longitudinal and transverse inertia force. Thus, the link to work in a complex stress state. Both by alternating tension and compression stresses, but also by bending stresses.
The graduation project preparation process design and finite element analysis for automotive engine connecting rod. Selection involves connecting rod to determine the rough, develop process route, select process equipment. In this thesis, CAD, PROE, ANSYS, etc. on the link were drawn and analyzed, and the process for connecting rod were prepared. And by a process of finite element analysis of the connecting rod.
KEY WORDS: connecting rod,process planning ,finite element analysis
