Modelling and Analysis of an EN8 crankshaft material in comparison with Forged steel crankshaft

The objective of the present work is to develop and analyze a two-wheeler crankshaft 3D model using solid works and ANSYS. EN8 and Forged steel are selected as crankshaft materials and their performance is evaluated and compared. Finite Element Analysis was used to determine the stress variation on the crankshaft’s surface. The load and boundary conditions are applied to the FE model in ANSYS. The obtained results from the analysis are being used to find the total deformation and stress conditions of the crankshafts. This is also used to examine prospects for weight and cost reduction in crankshaft production. This allows the stress range in the original crankshaft not to surpass the magnitude of the stress range. Static analysis is also conducted and tested by simulations in ANSYS. ANSYS simulations were done for static analysis of the crankshaft model.
