A THREE DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF A HIGH SPEED DIESEL ENGINE CONNECTING ROD

A high speed diesel engine connecting rod is extensively modeled incorporating three dimensional finite elements and bolt pretension forces. The resulting finite element analysis determines those regions containing high stress values and defines the deformed shapes for various loading conditions.
