Pneumatic compressor connecting rod is a dynamic link between piston and crankshaft, which all together forms a driving mechanism. They follow push and pull mechanism for transmission of power. Connecting rods are casted component which are designed to sustain higher bending stress due to initial loadings. Analytical calculation will be done to evaluate maximum structural bending load acting on pneumatic compressor connecting rod. Design/CAD of existing connecting rod will be done using CAD package CATIA V5. Element analysis will be done using Ansys package. FEA will help in identifying high strain and maximum stress occurs in connecting rod. Topology optimization will be done using material removal by reducing volume from location having no load. Existing connecting rod will be modified as per result from FEA by machining /FDM wire cutting method. Surface preparation will be done using before installing strain gage on component. Fixture will be designed for mounting component on UTM for application of bending load. Strain will be measured using strain gage indicator. Comparative analysis will be done with FEA & experimental result for validation of work. Conclusion and future work will be suggested.
