Abstract

The purpose of this project is to improve the engine efficiency and structural as well as thermal behaviour of the piston, connecting rod and crankshaft assembly. Theoretical calculation of the piston, connecting rod and crankshaft is developed from Hero Splendor-Pro engine specifications. Modelling of parts and its assembly were done in PTC Creo Parametric 2.0 design software and Finite Element Analysis performed using analysis software ANSYS Workbench 18.1. In this research, structural and thermal analysis; and weight optimization of assembly are done by two different materials such as Aluminium alloy and Aluminium silicon carbide (AlSiC) for piston, Grey Cast iron and Aluminium silicon carbide (AlSiC) for connecting rod & High carbon steel and Forged steel for crankshaft. Structural analysis is to evaluate the total deformation, equivalent stress and equivalent elastic strain; and thermal analysis to evaluate the temperature distribution and total heat flux. By comparison of the result of analysis, we would be able to find which material is better for the assembly of IC engine.
