Overview


As part of my Internal Combustion Engines class, I designed a piston connecting rod for an Otto Cycle engine, including performing a stress analysis at four differenet points of high stress and finite element analysis in FEA. I developed a numerical simulation of the stress in Python so that I could calculate the average and maximum principal stresses (sigma 1) for fatigue analysis. Links to the report and GitHub repository can be found below.

Despite the class being over, this is a project I am actively working on to achieve improved results.
