This document summarizes a project to automate the design of a single cylinder internal combustion engine. The project involves designing the connecting rod and crankshaft, performing motion, velocity, acceleration, and force analyses in SolidWorks and MATLAB, conducting static stress simulations to properly size components based on a safety factor, and automating the entire process. Key assumptions include using existing SolidWorks assembly parts and fixed bore and stroke dimensions. The analyses are used to optimize the design, reduce shaking forces through balancing, and ensure safety factors are within permissible limits.
