Abstract

Crankshaft is a crucial component in an engine assembly. Crankshaft is consisting of two web sections and one crankpin, which converts the reciprocating displacement of the piston to a rotary motion with a four link mechanism. Generally crankshafts are manufactured using cast iron and forged steel material. In this work to design and finite element analysis of crankshaft of 4 cylinder petrol engine of Maruti swift Vxi. of 1200 cubic capacity. The finite element analysis in ABAQUS software by using six materials based on their composition viz. Cast iron, EN30B, SAE4340, Structural steel, C70 Alloy steel and Aluminium based composite material reinforced with silicon carbide & fly ash.
