Design, Analysis & Balancing of 5 Cylinder Engine Crankshaft
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The crankshaft is a backbone of internal combustion engine. So the design & analysis is major aspects to get high power transmission & efficiency. The selection of material is an important parameter while designing any mechanical component. The material should be high strength & capacity to absorb the shocks as well as fatigue. The material also have less wear tendency. The crankshaft should be high torque transmitting capacity. So to achieve these objectives high carbon steel are used for design & analysis purpose. This paper gives the idea about analysis as well as proper balancing of weights by using these three materials. The modelling is done by using solid work software & then analysis by using ANSYS software with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The 5 cylinder engine gives the power stroke at 144 degree angle. By addition of counterweights & modified design these odd cylinders are balanced properly. The Finite Element Analysis Method is used to determine stress, strains & deflection at most stressed point which results into failure of shaft. Results obtained from analysis are used during weight optimization. The Shaft is analyzed using static analysis. For absorbing vibrations proper damping material is used to achieve the requirement of safe design. The optimization results into reduction of weight as well as cost.
