Low-Weight, High-Durability Crankshaft Development Using Glass Fiber Composites: Numerical and Experimental Investigations
Abstract: The present paper aims towards the weight reduction of crankshaft by replacing conventional medium carbon steel for a two-wheeler with composite material. The replacement is such that it significantly reduces load on other components without compromising structural integrity. It will also serves in terms of operating reliability or durability over its life span. A geometric specifications and dimensions were obtained using a 3D CAD model developed in CATIA V5. The …
