Stress Analysis in Crankshaft Through FEM

The crankshaft is the important part component of an engine. The main purpose of the crankshaft in automobile is to transform reciprocating linear motion to rotary motion. This thesis present the result of stress analysis done on a crankshaft of a single acting Four Stroke Diesel Engine using Solid Work, ANSYS and FEMAP Software. The three dimension model of crankshaft are develop in Solid work software and analysis in solid work first and after that import in ANSYS and FEMAP for stress analysis. The static analysis is done and is verified by simulation in finite element analysis software Solid work, ANSYS and FEMAP .A calculation method is used to validate the model. Finite element analysis is performed to obtain the variation of stress magnitude at critical locations
