Study on the Effects of the Nonhomogeneous Material Properties on the Structure Strength of the Induction Quenched Crankshaft

Abstract:

To study the effects of the nonhomogeneous material properties on the stress in an induction quenched crankshaft, the FEM model considering the nonhomogeneous material properties was established to simulate the stress in the crankshaft under the explosion pressure. Results showed that the nonhomogeneous properties almost didn’t vary the Mises stress distribution rule in the crankshaft. The maximum Mises stress, the ratio of the elastic modulus of the surface layer and the matrix followed a linear rule nearly. Moreover, the maximum Mises stress increased with the ratio. Besides, effect of elastic modulus distribution in the transition layer on the maximum stress could be ignored. To simplify the establishment of the FEM model, the elastic modulus could be set to either equal to the surface layer’s or the matrix’s.
