DYNAMIC BEHAVIOUR AND VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF A CONNECTING ROD USING FEM-A SURVEY

Finite Element Modeling (FEM) has become a cornerstone in the analysis of vibration characteristics and dynamicbehavior of mechanical components across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and robotics.FEM allows for the simulation of complex physical phenomena, such as vibrations and dynamic loads, providingengineers with the ability to predict how components will respond to various forces and stresses. This paperexplores the use of FEM in analyzing the vibration behavior of connecting rods, focusing on simulationtechniques, natural frequencies, mode shapes, and dynamic load responses. The paper discusses how FEM allowsfor detailed insights into the behavior of structures under dynamic conditions, optimizing designs for performanceand durability. By using FEM to simulate vibration patterns and dynamic forces, engineers can identify potentialfailure points, improve component design, and ensure that parts can withstand operational stresses. The accuracyof FEM simulations is highly dependent on the quality of input data, including material properties, meshingtechniques, and boundary conditions. As computational capabilities continue to advance, the role of FEM invibration analysis will become even more vital in optimizing mechanical systems for efficiency, safety, andlongevity.
