Summary:

The highly stressed components of internal combustion engines are subject to catastrophic failure by fatigue crack propagation. Prediction of the fatigue life of components is possible by following a program of analysis and nondestructive inspection. The analysis comprises determination of loads and forces including inertial contributions, a stress analysis that is usually conducted using the finite element method, a fracture mechanics analysis to determine the possibility of fatigue crack initiation and/or the rate of fatigue crack propagation, and the selection of appropriate inspection criteria.This methodology has been applied to medium-speed diesel engines of the types used for marine propulsion and electrical generation. Examples of the analysis are discussed for three major components - crankshaft, piston, and connecting rod - and one minor component - the connecting rod bearing shell
