摘要：A crankshaft is a fundamental feature in a vehicle's engine. It is the prime mover which is responsiblefor the conversion of linear energy into rotational energy. The crankshaft changes the piston motion with the help ofconnecting rods which inturn enable the engine to run. Hence, crankshaft is the most critical part of any assembly andits life can be improved if maintained properly. This paper deals with the material composition and the manufacturingprocesses usually followed for crankshafts and also the possible causes of failure and their analysis. In this regard, amodel of the crankshaft has been prepared using NX CAD 8.5 version and with the help of an analysis workbench,ANSYS (the premier CAE tool since forty years), we were able to analyze the stress distribution and deformation fortwo different materials. Finally, on the basis of the results acquired, suggestions with regard to the improvement indesign have been made.
