Yes, I forgot to mention I was thinking of some "better than ordinary" car engine, let's say 4cyl 2liter gasoline, where turbo boost of 1-2bar wouldn't help a lot in decreasing of the tensile stress caused by huge acceleration of reciprocating mass at high rpm, I think.
However, I would be...
Thanks for remark, interesting rods for racing...
Regarding stress, yes, that was my assumption - highest tensile stress at TDC of exhaust stroke, but isn't compression stress at TDC of compression stroke higher due to high pressure on piston? What about stress at BDC? And why should be there...
Hi, as far as I know conrod is stressed by tensile, compression and bending stress.
I would be interested what stress is imposed on conrod at each particular stroke of 4-stroke engine and when is it most critical.
And at which place of shank (closer to big end or small end) is higher...
