A rocker arm, in the context of an internal combustion engine, is an oscillating lever that conveys rotatingmotion of cam lobe to linear motion of the inlet or exhaust valve of an engine. Rocker arms oscillate about rocker arm shaftbecause 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 doneusing theoretical formulae but is necessary to carry out experimental analysis of rocker arm in working condition for betterunderstanding of stresses. The paper deals with theoretical and finite element analysis of rocker arm. The results obtainedfrom these two methods were compared with the results of experimental analysis.
