Abstract |
|
Existing crankshaft gets crack and fails within reliable time period. So, the reliability and life of the crankshaft is based on the properties and the composition of materials used. In this project, conventional materials are replaced by Metal Matrix Composite of aluminium with boron carbide. Three dimensional model of multi cylinder diesel engine crankshaft and crank-throw were created using SOLIDWORKS software. The stress and modal analysis of a four cylinder diesel engine crankshaft were discussed using Finite Element Method. The ANSYS WORKBENCH is used to analyze the modal and stress status of the crankshaft. The maximum deformation in the crank-throw and stresses were found, and compared with conventional material and metal matrix composite. |
