Failure Analysis of Engine Crankshaft by Finite Element Method Analysis Approach- A Review

Amit Kumar Chaturvedi, Adarsh Kumar

Abstract

The crankshaft, a mechanical part with intricate geometry that converts reciprocating motion into rotational motion, is essential to the operation of the engine. The connecting rod serves as the link between the crankshaft and the piston. The primary bearings, which are situated in the crankcase, support the crankshaft journals. The most crucial phase for an efficient engine design and an increase in engine performance in an internal combustion engine is the crankshaft design and analysis research. The analysis of the crankshaft under varied performance situations is therefore most crucial for an efficient design in internal combustion engines since the crankshaft is subjected to different pressure loads with regard to crank angle.

Keywords
