Discussion
It is found that Stress induced 15.6 Mpa is very low as compared to the allowable
pressureof 140Mpai.e., Factor of safety is 7. Since it over designed, it is redesigned
to reduce the material.
In manufacturing point of view, minimum 5mm is necessary for
Gravity Die Casting (GDC), so
casting of connecting rod is
changed to Pressure Die casting(PDC) to achieve the target

Frequency: 5214 Hz
Factor of safety: 1 to 5
