Abstract

This paper addresses a study undertaken to develop spatial numerical models of a piston, a piston pin and a connecting rod with reference to real components of a combustion engine crank system. The numerical studies conducted comprised an analysis of how the mechanical strength of piston pins was influenced depending on the change in their inner shape. For the purposes of calculations, various scenarios of shape modification were proposed for piston pins currently in use, enabling their weight to be reduced.
