- Summary:
- Computational study of the candidate material for weight optimisation of the crankshaft. Amit Chetrya, Mayank Kambojb, and Narayan KhatricAutomotive Design Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun, India 248007AbstractWith the modernisation of the technology, significant emphasis has been given in weight reduction of the number of engine components. This change is predominantly governed by the introduction of composites and ceramics. The crankshaft is an important part of an IC engine that converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion through the connecting rod. This paper is focused on the weight optimisation of the crankshaft by analysing it for different stresses and dynamic loads using different materials viz. AISI 4340, AI B4C, AISI 4330M, 42-CrMo-4, AISI 6061-T6 and Aluminium alloy. Computational study of the different candidate materials for the crankshaft is done using an inline 4-cylinder diesel engine. A standard 3D model of the crankshaft is made using DS Solidworks 2013 software and the computational analysis is being carried out using Ansys Workbench. The study focuses on decreasing the weight of the crankshaft while maintaining optimum values of induced stresses and deformation, therefore increasing efficiency and torque output of the engine. Analysis of each candidate material is done for maximum pressure and maximum torque conditions simultaneously and the results are compared and evaluated to find the suitable material with less density and good strength to weight ratio
