Stress Measurements on Crankshaft Fillet

Dynamic Stress Concentration Factor in the Strip Plate with Fillet

Dynamic and static stress concentration factors ao, and as generated at a fillet part are observed by photoelastic method, and the comparison between two different factors is carried out. Next, the reflection coefficient A is calculated using the height of incident and reflected waves measured by the strain gauge. As the result, following relationship a= ( I+ A )as is derived experimentally. Th...

Diagnostic Internal Combustion Engine Based on Crankshaft Angular Acceleration

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...

Foundry and Development of Ductile Iron Crankshaft

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...

A Fatigue Analysis and Life Estimation of Crankshaft - a Review

The main objective of writing review on fatigue life of crankshaft is to investigate the behavior of crankshaft under complex loading conditions. Automobile industries are always interested to develop a new product which will be innovative and fulfill market expectations. All the engine components are subjected to constant to varying load which also varies in direction and due to these, compone...
