Modeling of a Radial Engine and Analysis of Articulated Rod

This report is deals with Modeling of Radial Engine and Analysis of Articulated Rod. The aim of the project is to model a five cylinder radial engine and to perform static analysis on articulated rod under known constrains and load conditions. The analysis has been performed on a full section of the given nodes. The functioning of Articulated Rod is similar to that of a connecting rod (i.e. to convert the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of crank shaft as in an I.C. Engine). Following design & analysis procedure is conducted. First The modeling part is done using Pro/Engineer software and the static analysis of articulated rod is done using ANSYS.
