In this paper, the hydrodynamic pressure and minimum oil film thickness of a pin bush bearing for a connecting rod have been analyzed as functions of the number of oil grooves and an arc length of oil grooves. The lubrication characteristic of a pin bush is governed by oil groove design factors, which are considered in this study. The most influential design parameter is a number of oil grooves, which is three oil grooves with an arc length of oil groove, 1/6($60^{\circ}$). This means that oil groove with a long arc length of a pin bush does not contribute to the hydrodynamic pressure development. Thus the optimal design of a pin bush is necessary with an increased number of oil grooves and a reduced arc length.

Finite element analysis along with DOE scheme has been performed to obtain robust design of connecting rod assembly. An analysis was conducted with five loading steps. Fatigue analysis was done using commercial software FEMFAT and fatigue safety factors at the interested regions such as shank area of small end and big end were calculated. 27 design cases using 3 factors with 3 levels are constructed by design of experiment. Each case is simulated to find the most influential factors. Response for this study, maximum Von-Mises stress, has been used to determine main factors of connecting rod assembly. Among the 3 factors, compression load affected the response greatly. However, bolt assembly load and width of shank flat area showed a little influence to the response. Interaction effects among factors considered did not occur. Connecting rod assembly considered in this study showed its sensitivity to the noise factor such as compression load rather than design factor such as width of flat shank area.

This paper focus on investigating the influence of the amount of water ingestion and the engine speed on the joint reaction force of the connecting rod in engine. The connecting rod was modelled by MSC/PATRAN, the modal informations of it were obtained by the DMAP module in the MSC/NASTRAN, and the dynamic force history was computed through the flexible multibody dynamic simulation in DADS. To analyze the joint reaction force acting on the connecting rod, the 48 cases were investigated. The engine speed varies with 200, 700, 1600, 2400rpm and the volumetric ratio of water to the combustion chamber varies with 0, 10, 20, ..., 90, 95 and 97.5% . As the engine speed decreases and the amount of water ingestion increases, the joint reaction force increase. Especially when the amount of water ingestion exceeds the 70% of the volume of the combution chamber, the joint reaction force acting on the connecting rod is over the design strength.

The purpose of this study is to suggest how the machining technique of constant control of cutting speed can improve precision machining and tool life in high speed machining using a ball end mill. Cutting speed is changed in machining fee form surfaces such as connecting rod die. So, we don't have supreme surface form and tool life on machining. To solve this problem we should settle on optimal cutting speeds in free form surface machining. And, to improve precision machining, We must execute high speed machining methods to output optimum NC data using developed constant control of cutting speed program after modeling by CAD/CAM. In this paper, a comparison was made of the cutting precision and tool life in conventional cutting and those in connecting rod machining applying the program developed.

The motion of dynamically loaded journal in the connecting rod big-end bearings is considered and then equations of motion are derived. Dynamical characteristics of big-end bearings are derived by perturbation method and linearized spring and damping coefficients are calculated. Numerical intergrations of equations of motion ure performed by $\rho$-family method. This paper gives various journal orbits in a big-end bearing depending on external force cycle and bearing parameters

Fatigue fracture of engine connecting-rod bolts is encountered frequently during the developement of high-speed engines. Only the engine dyno test is a currently reliable fatigue durability assessment method. It is because the available rig tests cannot mimic the engine running condition completely, and because the finite element analysis cannot provide realistic stresses near the bolt thread that is modeled as a cylinder. This paper introduces a methodology to assess the fatigue durability of the connecting-rod bolts using the finite element analysis. The methods to contruct the bolt model, to extract the critical bolt stresses for the fatigue analysis, and to obtain the bolt fatigue endurance limit experimentally are discussed. Reliability of the method is verified indirectly.

Recently, wash plate type hydraulic axial piston motors are being in extensively used in the world, because of simple design, lightweight, effective cost. But the structural problem of swash plate type hydraulic axial piston motor is the limited angle of swash plate and lateral force having a undesirable effect in piston. To solve these problems. a connecting rod mechanism. which is commonly used in hent axis type motors, is considered to be applied the swash plate cype motor. In this paper, kinematic analysis is done on the connecting rod mechanism. A series of formula are derived and numerical calculations are done for a set of motor parameters.
