Which are the combination of stresses acting on the connecting rod?(a) Shear and torsion(b) Torsion and tensile(c) Tensile and(d) Axial and bending stressesThis question was posed to me in an international level competition.The doubt is from Engine Components in portion Basic Engine Components of Automotive Engine Design

Answer»

Correct answer is (d) Axial and bending stresses

For explanation I would SAY: A combination of axial and bending stresses acting on the connecting rod in operation. The axial stresses are produced DUE to CYLINDER GAS pressure and the inertia force arising on account of reciprocating motion, whereas bending stress CAUSED due to centrifugal.
