        abstract = {The gudgeon pin is an essential component in internal combustion engines, connecting the piston to the connecting rod and transmitting combustion forces. It operates under severe conditions such as high cyclic loading, temperature fluctuations, and frictional wear. This project focuses on the design, analysis, and optimization of a gudgeon pin to improve its strength, durability, and weight efficiency.
Initially, the gudgeon pin is designed using standard mechanical design principles. Analytical calculations are performed to determine stresses and dimensions. A 3D model is then developed and analyzed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to study stress distribution and deformation under working conditions. Based on the results, design modifications are made by varying geometric parameters and material properties.
The optimized design shows reduced weight and improved stress handling capability compared to the initial design. The project concludes that proper design optimization of the gudgeon pin can enhance engine performance, increase component life, and reduce material usage.},
