Study on Fillet Stresses Distribution of Crankshaft of High-Duty Diesel Engine

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stresses distribution in crankshaft fillet region are mainly discussed in this paper. FEM is used for calculating the stresses. With the analysis of the regional stresses distribution, we concludes that the stresses can be fitted by first order of Fourier expansions, while all the parameters in the expansions can be expressed as second order polynomial expansions.
