The connecting rod is a critical part inside the marine engine. The inspection of its important parameters is directly related to the assembly and quality of the marine engine. A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a conventional choice to measure the parameters of a connecting rod. However, CMM requires significant resources in time and cost, which leads researchers into in-situ measurement....

This study investigates and compares fatigue behavior of forged steel and powder metal connecting rods. The experiments included strain-controlled specimen testing, with specimens obtained from the connecting rods, as well as load-controlled connecting rod bench testing. Monotonic and cyclic deformation behaviors, as well as strain-controlled fatigue properties of the two materials are evaluate...

The following scientific paper aims to analyze in detail the methodology for reverse engineering of a racing motorcycle connecting rod. objective is start with product available on market as spare part, reconstruct its CAD model high standard accuracy, then proceed lightening modifications arrive at new, improved design. innovative aspect procedure lies fact that order ensure accuracy tenth mil...

Abstract In this paper, a 5-DOF manipulator is designed to carry the pipeline robot. The joint coordinate system and connecting rod parameters of are confirmed by D-H method, kinematics model established. position direction end deduced using homogeneous transformation method. Monte Carlo method used solve workspace manipulator, MATLAB draw cloud map. Set motion trajectory space planning, throug...

Shot peening applies a residual compressive stress field (RCSF) on the surface of parts. It also shifts “crack nucleation sites” to sub-surface locations. A nondestructive method of measuring the stresses, Sin2ψ was utilized here and the stress values introduced to Ansys software. For this purpose, uniform stress in all directions was applied on the con rod. Loading on the rod in Ansys had thre...
