Which of the following is defined as whipping stress?(a) Bending stress due to compression(b) Bending stress due to inertia(c) Bending stress due to(d) Bending stress due to torsionI have been asked this question in an interview for job.Enquiry is from Engine Components topic in portion Basic Engine Components of Automotive Engine Design

Answer»

The correct answer is (b) Bending stress due to INERTIA

The best explanation: The small end of the connecting rod is subjected to TRANSLATION motion and the big end is subjected to pure rotary motion. The intermediate point moves in an elliptical orbit. The LATERAL oscillation induces inertia that acts all along the LENGTH. This TYPE of action is called whipping. The bending stress due to the inertia force is called whipping stress.
