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 Maximum Force Acting on Connecting Rod given Maximum Gas Pressure?
Maximum Force Acting on Connecting Rod given Maximum Gas Pressure calculator uses Force on Connecting Rod = pi*Inner Diameter of Engine Cylinder^2*Maximum Pressure in Engine Cylinder/4 to calculate the Force on Connecting Rod, Maximum force acting on connecting rod given maximum gas pressure is the force that acts on the connecting rod on an IC Engine when the piston is at the top dead center. Force on Connecting Rod is denoted by Pcr symbol.
How to calculate Maximum Force Acting on Connecting Rod given Maximum Gas Pressure using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Force Acting on Connecting Rod given Maximum Gas Pressure, enter Inner Diameter of Engine Cylinder (Di) & Maximum Pressure in Engine Cylinder (pmax) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Force Acting on Connecting Rod given Maximum Gas Pressure calculation can be explained with given input values -> 27000 = pi*0.0927058^2*4000000/4.
