    <description>The aim of Journal of Mechanical Design and Vibration [JMDV] is to act as a platform for dissemination of innovative and original research and development work in the area of mechanical design, acoustics and vibration. The Journal of Mechanical Design and Vibration communicates original contributions of permanent interest on all aspects of the design and vibrations of mechanical systems. The Journal publishes technical briefs, design and vibration related innovative papers, discussions of published papers with rebuttal, book reviews, and editorials. Articles may be theoretical or experimental in nature. But those which combine theoretical and experimental approaches to solve design, acoustic and vibration problems are particularly welcome.</description>

Optimum Design of Connecting Rod – A Review
</title>
<link>http://pubs.sciepub.com/jmdv/11/1/1</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[This study discusses a comprehensive review of the optimal design of the connecting rod used in internal combustion engines and compressors. The connecting rod is an important part and a major component that is produced in large quantities for automobile engines. Its purpose is to link the piston to the rotating crankshaft to create a mechanism for the movement reciprocating of the piston. Carbon steel is commonly used in the manufacture of connecting rods, but there is a growing trend towards utilizing aluminum alloys. Objective of this study is to optimize the shape of the connecting rod in an automobile engine. The optimization aims to minimize the stresses experienced by the connecting rod under both compressive loads from maximum engine output and bending loads caused by the inertia force during maximum engine power with a focused on reducing its weight. Various stresses and deformations need to be considered when designing the connecting rod, along with the comparison of different materials. Additionally, it is important to explore various software and Finite Element Method (FEM) packages that can be utilized for the modeling and analysis of the connecting rod.]]>
