Design, Analysis and Optimization of a 6 cylinder Engine Crank shaft
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper deals with; the problem occurred in six cylinders four stroke engine crankshaft. It consist of static structural analysis of six cylinder engine crank shaft. It identifies and solves the problem by using the modelling and simulation techniques. The main work was to model the crankshaft with dimensions and then simulate the crankshaft for static structural analysis. The topic was chosen because of increasing interest in higher payloads, lower weight, higher efficiency and shorter load cycles in crankshaft. The modelling software used is Unigraphics-NX7.5 for modelling the crankshaft. The analysis software ANSYS is used for structural analysis of crankshaft. The objective involves modelling and analysis of crankshaft, so as to identify the effect of stresses on crankshaft, to compare various materials and to provide possible solution. Results obtained from the aforementioned analysis were then used in optimization of the crankshaft. The first step in the optimization process was weight reduction of the component considering static loading. This required the stress range under static loading not to exceed the magnitude of the stress range in the original crankshaft. Possible weight reduction options and their combinations were considered. The optimization process resulted in a weight reduction, increased strength and a reduced cost of the crankshaft.
