DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF CONNECTING ROD USING FEA
The objective of the analysis is to optimize the thickness and length (the distance
between two centers) of connecting rod. Cross section of the connecting rod is
assumed to be a rectangular.
The above process is done for different sets of thickness and the set that gives best
results (Von mises stresses should be less than the tensile strength of the material
used) with minimum weight of the component is considered.
The following figure shows connecting rod used for optimization
Note: cross section is rectangular
33
ANSYS WORK BOOK
Problem can be simplified as follows

Objective: Minimizing the volume
Design variables: thickness, length
State variable: Maximum stress (Von Mises stress)
Optimization variables
Defining Design variables: Design variables are independent quantities, which are
varied in order to get optimum design. Design variables should be in terms of
parameters
Path to define design variables: parameters >scalar parameters
Ex: L=100
T=30
State variables: these are the quantities, which constrain the design. They are also
known as dependent variables and are response quantities of design variables. A state
variable may have maximum and minimum end or may be single sided i.e. only one
limit.
Objective: It is a dependant variable that you are attempting to minimize. It is
function of design variable.
Feasible design set: Feasible design is one that satisfies all specified constraints-
constraints on state variable as well as design variables

ANSYS WORK BOOK

In put data required for the present analysis
Element type: Quadrilateral 4 node (Plane 42 with thickness option)
Real constants: Thickness (in terms of parameters i.e. T)
Material properties:
Material: Steel
Modulus of elasticity =19.30033371 N/mm2
Density =8.0291474 × 10-5 N/mm2
Poisson’s ratio =0.2900
Model geometry:
Where L is design variable, Radii are taken as {26mm, 25mm}

Boundary conditions and Constraints are applied on the lines
Constrains should be expanded to nodes

Pressure Diagram
Note
Pressure: 1258 N/mm2
Solution:
Following figure shows Von Mises stress
Extract all the optimization parameters and save the parameters in name.lgw
36
ANSYS WORK BOOK
Design optimization:
Step 1: Assign name.lgw
Step2: Define limits for variables
Step 3:Save the parameters in name.opt
Step4 : Choose method/tool (First order method)
Step5: Run
Step6: Extract the best set
Conclusion: After optimization feasible set is taken as the best set and the volume is
compared with initial volume. Design variables and state variables are checked
whether they are in limits or not.
