Rocker arm is vital component in valve actuating mechanism of an IC engine. [2] There is research is going on in industries for optimum design i.e. reduction in weight and increase in strength. Also failure of rocker arm is major concern, so in this project we have modeled the rocker arm in CAD software and done FEA analysis of the same model for different materials.[5][6] After that we have taken better material for modification to get optimum results, in this case we have taken structural steel material.
