ABSTRACT
Premature wear of the Gudgeon pin is the major concern for the company. Gudgeon pin connects
the piston and the small end of the connecting rod of IC engines. This Report deals with Static
Structural analysis Gudgeon pin used in diesel engine. In stress analysis von-Mises stresses
coming on Pin are determined using finite element analysis tool ANSYS 16.effect of different
factors on Von-Mises stresses such as change in internal diameter of pin. Effect of change in
surface roughness of connecting rod small end bush and change in internal diameter of pin on
Stress is analyzed. Von-Mises stresses, Weight Optimization and Total deformation of materials
like AL Alloy, MS, SS and Carbon fibre of gudgeon pin is analyzed.
Key words:- Gudgeon Pin, Von-Mises Stresses, ANSYS.
