Finite Element Analysis on Connecting Rod Fracture Splitting with Abaqus

Article Preview

Abstract:

Connecting rod fracture splitting is a novel connecting rod big end separation precision machining technology. It has become one of the critical technologies in engine production in developed countries. By studying and analyzing the splitting process theory, affecting factors on splitting quality and the expansion force ratio, finite element analysis was conducted by using modern engineering software. Upon design and fabrication a testing device, lots of experiments were carried out. Experiment results show, the study method is effective, the splitting quality can be obtained by homemade equipment. The same equipment can be used for varying temperature and different material splitting analysis in the future.
