Strength Analysis and Optimization Methods for Four Cylinder Engine Crankshaft Based on CATIA and ANSYS

Abstract:

Crankshaft is one of the most important components of an IC engine. Crankshaft should be checked carefully to ensure that its design is fully optimized. The main objective of this paper is to perform the static analysis on four cylinder engine crankshaft to find out its static strength and the maximum stress zone and analyzing the different methods for the optimization of crankshaft in terms of weight, stress and cost reduction. A three dimensional model of four cylinder engine crankshaft is prepared corresponding to actual conditions in Catia V5 software, static analysis is performed using Ansys under extreme operating conditions and the improvement methods for the optimum design are analyzed in terms of geometric improvement, appropriate material selection and methods used for manufacturing of crankshaft.
