Abstract

This article is based on the determination of the mechanical capacity of the Connecting rod of the Kia Rio, Corsa Evolution and Volkswagen Gol vehicles, based on a static analysis by compression and buckling under column conditions, determining whether or not there is over-dimensioning of the same. The study is developed in phases:
- Chemical analysis performed by a spark spectrometer, material hardness tests and micrographic analysis based on ASTM standards, determining the specific material of each connecting rod.
- Analytical calculation determining the pressure and explosion force in the engine.
- Analysis of the connecting rods in column conditions, obtaining critical values ​​to which the connecting rods will begin to buckle, these values ​​are analyzed by means of EMF, being able to determine the safety factors for each case.
- Modeling and FEM compression analysis of each connecting rod with load increase until the last effort, displacement and safety factor values ​​are obtained.
- Performing non-destructive tests by penetrating inks and magnetic particles based on ASTM standards determining whether or not there are possible cracks or porosities that influence the results.
- Experimental compression test in the universal testing machine obtaining results that will be compared with those obtained by FEM.
- Checking oversize in the connecting rods by comparing the forces obtained from the experimental test and using FEM considering the force in the expansion cycle.
- Determination of a mathematical model using linear regressions from which we will obtain the effort as a function of the compression force that we enter.
