- Abstract
In this paper, we present research on the structural optimization of a rod in a 1-cylinder in-line thermal engine structure. To perform this optimization, we will use the finite element analysis program, ANSYS. We will parametrically model the connecting rod using ANSYS Design Modeler. Some geometrical dimensions, such as the radii of the connection, and the relief channels, we will consider as structural optimization parameters. The objective function of this optimization is to reduce stress concentrators, with the aim of increasing fatigue strength, but also to reduce connecting rod mass. We will present the results obtained, in the form of 3D graphs. We will present the optimal solution for the geometrical shape of the connecting rod. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of structural optimization programs to achieve optimal part design shapes effect.
