Dynamic and Fatigue Analysis of Engine Crank Shaft by Using FEM Approach
Abstract: The internal combustion (ICE) engine crankshaft is a high-volume manufacturing component with a complicated shape. This converts the piston's reciprocating displacement into the crank's rotating motion. In this research, an effort is made to investigate how geometry modification might increase the fatigue life of a single-cylinder engine crankshaft. SOLIDWORK software was used to construct the modelling of the original and optimised crankshaft, which was then imported for analysis into ANSYS …
