Abstract
Crankshaft is an important engine component used for converting the reciprocating motion of the piston to rotary motion. It is necessary to ensure that the crankshaft does not fail under load for the smooth functioning of the engine. In this paper, we performed the structural analysis of a single-cylinder crankshaft using ANSYS for 4 different materials to see which is the most suitable for it. We used Solidworks for creating the 3-d model of the crankshaft, which was then imported to ANSYS, where mesh was created and forces were applied. Then the deformation and stresses were analyzed and compared to find the regions of high-stress concentration and to see the most compatible material.
