In designing an optimum connecting rod, it is necessary to determine the oil film pressure (OFP) distribution at the big end under actual engine operating conditions because these conditions must be used as the boundary conditions of a structural analysis. Since it is very difficult to measure the OFP distribution, a bearing test rig has been developed to simulate the actual load of an operating engine. Measured data obtained with this test rig show a lower maximum oil film pressure and a wider pressure angle than the calculated results.
