The designing, material selection and stress analysis are important processes in mechanical engineering design. The below brief study deals with the afore-mentioned processes conducted on the piston, connecting rod and crankshaft of a 12 cylinder V-type engine used for wood cutting application. The objective of this study was to optimize the weight of the given parts and increase their capacities to withstand different loads by means of iterative design changes as well as material selection for the three components. Pre-existing engine data and empirical relationships were used to generate a mathematical model for the design procedure and Ashby standards were followed for material selection for the above-mentioned parts. The Computer Aided Design (CAD) modelling and analysis of these parts was conducted in the Solidworks software.
