Optimization of Crankshaft Offset to Design Crank Slider Mechanism with Improved Power Transmission Efficiency
Abstract: Increasing consumption and depleting reserve of the petroleum fuel calls for further improvement in the efficiency of internal combustion (IC) engines. Ensuring maximum piston effort and its efficient transmission to the crankshaft are the two major factors governing the efficiency of an IC engine. A major challenge in designing an IC engine is the poor transmission efficiency of crank slider mechanism at the time of peak pressure. An analysis made …

Study on Crankshaft Failure: A Review
Abstract: Crankshafts are power shafts of engines with a complex geometry having crankwebs and crankpins. Crankshafts axis is offset from the centre. It converts the linear (reciprocating) motion of pistons into a rotary motion that can be transmitted through a drive line system. A crankshaft is subjected to several forces that vary in magnitude and direction (multiaxial loading). Bending stress and shear stress due to twisting are also common stresses acting …
