Compressive forces >> tensile forces, so the cross section of connecting rod
is designed as a strut and Rankines formula is used.
Rankines formula :
BUCKLING POSSIBILITIES:
1. buckle with X-axis as neutral axis ( in the plane of motion of rod)
2.buckle with Y-axis as neutral axis (in plane perpendicular to plane of
motion)
Connecting rod considered like both ends hinged for buckling about X-axis
and both ends fixed for buckling about Y-axis.
NOTATIONS
In order to have a C.R equally strong in buckling about both the axes , the
buckling loads must be equal.
or
I xx = 4 I YY
OBSERVATIONS
If I xx > 4 I YY , Buckling occurs about Y axis.
If I xx < 4 I YY, Buckling occurs about X axis.
In actual practice, I xx is kept slightly less than 4 I YY.
usually taken between 3 and 3.5.
C.R is designed for buckling about X-axis and the design will
always be safe about Y axis too.
The most suitable section for C.R is I-section and shown in
next slide with suitable proportions.
NOTATIONS
NOTE:
( - ) sign used when piston accelerated and (+) when retarted.
