A connecting rod is the mechanical link between the piston and the crankshaft. By design, connecting rods convert vertical motion into rotary motion, eventually yielding torque at the flywheel. By ...
A connecting rod may be the most stressed component within an engine—absorbing compressive loads and resisting centrifugal forces during each crank revolution. When considering how robust a connecting ...
ABSTRACT A connecting rod made of titanium alloy is effective for lower fuel consumption and higher power output comparing to a steel one because the titanium connecting rod enables to reduce the ...
