Failure of Connecting Rod
Failure of a connecting rod often called "throwing a rod", is one of the most common causes of catastrophic engine failure in cars, frequently driving the broken rod through the side of the crankcase and thereby rendering the engine irreparable. Common causes of connecting rod failure are tensile failure from high engine speeds, the impact force when the piston hits a valve (due to a valvetrain problem), rod bearing failure (usually due to a lubrication problem), or incorrect installation of the connecting rod.
How to Calculate Force acting on piston top due to gas pressure given thrust force on connecting rod?
Force acting on piston top due to gas pressure given thrust force on connecting rod calculator uses Force on Piston Head = Force on Connecting Rod*cos(Inclination of Connecting Rod With Line of Stroke) to calculate the Force on Piston Head, Force acting on piston top due to gas pressure given thrust force on connecting rod is the force acting onto the top of the piston due to the pressure of combustion gases. Force on Piston Head is denoted by P symbol.
How to calculate Force acting on piston top due to gas pressure given thrust force on connecting rod using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Force acting on piston top due to gas pressure given thrust force on connecting rod, enter Force on Connecting Rod (Pcr) & Inclination of Connecting Rod With Line of Stroke (φ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Force acting on piston top due to gas pressure given thrust force on connecting rod calculation can be explained with given input values -> 19133.35 = 19864.54*cos(0.272164898226693).
