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 Tangential component of force at crank pin given force on connecting rod?
Tangential component of force at crank pin given force on connecting rod calculator uses Tangential Force at Crank Pin = Force on Connecting Rod*sin(Inclination of Connecting Rod With Line of Stroke+Crank Angle) to calculate the Tangential Force at Crank Pin, Tangential component of force at crank pin given force on connecting rod is the force acting on the crank pin end of the connecting rod in a direction tangential to the connecting rod. Tangential Force at Crank Pin is denoted by Pt symbol.
How to calculate Tangential component of force at crank pin given force on connecting rod using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Tangential component of force at crank pin given force on connecting rod, enter Force on Connecting Rod (Pcr), Inclination of Connecting Rod With Line of Stroke (φ) & Crank Angle (θ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Tangential component of force at crank pin given force on connecting rod calculation can be explained with given input values -> 14191.19 = 19864.54*sin(0.272164898226693+0.5235987755982).
