Abstract

A rocker arm, in the context of an internal combustion engine, is an oscillating lever that conveys rotating
motion of cam lobe to linear motion of the inlet or exhaust valve of an engine. Rocker arms oscillate about rocker arm shaft
because of action of push rod on one side and spring action on other side, which causes bending of rocker arm. As the result,
the bending stresses are induced. Failure of rockers may take place due to these stresses. Theoretical analysis can been done
using theoretical formulae but is necessary to carry out experimental analysis of rocker arm in working condition for better
understanding of stresses. The paper deals with theoretical and finite element analysis of rocker arm. The results obtained
from these two methods were compared with the results of experimental analysis.
