The article presents the results of studies aimed at developing a method of restoring cast iron bushings for pivot connections of a heat engine with external heat supply. The methods of computer modeling the stress-strain state of the pivot connections are used. To carry out computer modeling, the ANSYS program has been used, which allows simulating the stress-strain state of the kinetic pair of the pivot connection of the crank mechanism of engines with external heat supply and excluding cumbersome field tests of experimental samples. The dependence of stresses on the contact surface of the bushing on the depth of the boring in relation to its total length has experimentally been established.
