the crankshaft is one of the most critically loaded components as it experiences cyclic loads in the form of bending and torsion during its service life. its failure will cause serious damage to the engine so it’s important at the time of design to verify fatigue strength. more challenges in crankshaft design due to increasing vehicle payloads, lower weight requirement, higher efficiency and lo...

the premature breakage in some four cylinder diesel engine crankshafts was reported. all crankshafts were failed from the same region. failures had occurred in the first crankpin, the nearest crankpin to the flywheel. dynamic analysis and finite element modelling were carried out to determine the state of stress in the crankshaft. fem results revealed that the first crankpin fillet is the most ...

This paper presents an investigation report of different components failure which affect the performance of an automobile engine. The premature breakage of a four cylinder diesel engine block, crankshaft, camshaft, crankshaft bearing, camshaft bush, engine oil pump was reported. It is found that the failure of each component having the same reason for its failure as reported from different plac...

The main purpose of this study is to review the cause for the crankshaft failure of six-cylinder diesel engine of a wheel loader after passing a short period of time. The failure had occurred after 4800 hours of in-service in the fifth crankpin of the crankshaft. Hardness and tensile tests were carried out to study their mechanical properties. Spectrophotometer machine was used to examine the c...

Internal combustion (IC) engine is a complex power generating machines and used widely in automotive industry, which the failure rate is high. Carrying out the IC engine fault diagnostic methods have been studied and still a lasting topic for scientists. Crankshaft instantaneous angular acceleration, which evaluated by second derivative of the crankshaft rotation respect to time contains a litt...

The premature breakage in some four cylinder diesel engine crankshafts was reported. All crankshafts were failed from the same region. Failures had occurred in the first crankpin, the nearest crankpin to the flywheel. Dynamic analysis and finite element modelling were carried out to determine the state of stress in the crankshaft. FEM results revealed that the first crankpin fillet is the most ...

In this paper, we introduce the production of ductile iron crankshaft of the engine status quo and development. Ductile iron crankshaft discussed smelting process, alloying and manufacturing process mode. This paper focuses on the application of isothermal hardened spheroidal graphite cast iron in the crankshaft, especially its application in the power of the engine crankshaft. We also introduc...

Crankshaft is one of the crucial parts for internal combustion engine which required effective and precise working. In this study, aim study to identify stress state in crankshaft explain failure automotive fatigue life by using finite element analysis. The 3D solid modelling model was designed developed SolidWorks. A static structural dynamic analysis on an L-twin cylinder were used determine ...
