1. Design Procedure

1.1 Specifications of Maruti Swift Engine

Capacity 1197cc
Number of Cylinders 4
Number of Valves 16
Bore x Stroke 73.0mm x 71.5mm
Compression Ratio 10.1:1
Maximum Power 85ps @ 6,000rpm
Maximum Torque 113Nm @ 4,500rpm

2.1 Calculation of Brake Mean Effective Pressure


BMEP             = 2 x π x Torque x no. of strokes / Displacement Volume

Since the no. of cylinders = 4

Torque to be developed by single cylinder = Total torque/No. of cylinders

                                                                                 = 113/4 = 28.5 Nm

From the specifications given,

Displacement volume can be estimated by the stroke and bore. (Volume of the cylinder)

Torque and RPM are also given in the specifications.

BMEP = 1.35 KN/mm2

Maximum combustion pressure = 5 x BMEP (approx.)

Maximum combustion pressure = 6.75 KN/mm2 

2.2 Calculation of Reactive Forces on Bearings


Force on the Piston Fp = Area of the bore x Max. Combustion pressure

                                    = π x D2 x Pmax /4

                                    = 28.25 KN

            Assuming that the distance between the 2 bearings is equal to twice the piston diameter D

            Distance between bearings, b = 2 x D = 146 mm

            Distance from the bearings to the piston axis = b1=b2 = b/2

            b1 = b2 = 73 mm.

            Where,

            b1 = distance from the bearing 1 to the piston axis in mm

b2 = distance from the bearing 2 to the piston axis in mm


Horizontal reaction at bearing 1, H1 = Fp x b1 / b = 14.125 KN

Horizontal reaction at bearing 2, H2 = Fp x b2 / b = 14.125 KN

2.3 Design of Crank Pin


dc –Diameter of the crank pin

            lc –Length of the crank pin

Mb- Allowable bending stress (Assumed to be 75 N/mm2)

Bending moment at the centre of crank pin, Mc = H1 x b2 = 1031.125 N-mm

We know that, Mc = π x dc3 x Mb /2

From this we have the diameter of the crank pin, dc = 52 mm

Length of the crank pin, lc = Fp / dc x pb

Taking bearing pressure =10 N/mm2

We have the length of the crank pin, lc = 55 mm

Results:

Diameter of the crank pin = 52 mm

Length of the crank pin = 55 mm

2.4 Design Left Hand Crank Web


Thickness of the web, t = 0.65dc + 6.35 mm

                                   t = 40 mm

Width of the crank web, w = 1.125dc + 12.7 mm

          w = 71 mm

Crank web is subjected to bending and direct compressive stresses

Max. Bending moment, M = H1x (b2 – lc/2 –t/2)

From this we have M = 24792.2 KN-mm


Bending stress = M / Z

Where Z is the section modulus which is given by Z = w x t2 / 6

Bending stress is coming to 18.933 N/mm2

Direct compressive stress = H1 / w x t =4.97 N/mm2

Total stress on the crank web = Bending stress + Direct compressive stress =23.906 N/mm2

It is less than the limiting stress of 75 N/mm2. Hence the design is safe.

Results:

Thickness of the Left hand crank web = 40 mm

Width of the Left hand crank web       = 71 mm

Fig.1 Crank Shaft at dead centre

2.5 Design of Right Hand Crank Web


From the balancing point of view the dimensions of the right hand crank web (Width and
Thickness) are made equal to the Left hand crank web

Results:

Thickness of the Right hand crank web = 40 mm

Width of the Right hand crank web       = 71 mm


2.6 Design of the shaft under flywheel
Assuming that the length of the main bearings are equal i.e c1=c2=c/2.

We know that due to the weight of the flywheel acting downwards, there will be two vertical
reactions at bearings

We have the vertical reactions V1 and V2 to be 3453 N (V1 and V2 are equal since the load is
distributed equally and assumed to act at the centre)

Let ds = Diameter of the shaft in mm.

Since the lengths of the main bearings are equal, therefore

l1 = l2 = l3 = 2 (b/2 – lc/2 - t) = 56 mm

Assuming width of the flywheel as 30 mm, we have

c = 56 + 30 = 86 mm

Allowing space for gearing and clearance, let us take c = 100 mm.

c1 = c2 = c/2 = 50 mm

Bending moment due to the weight of the flywheel

Mw = Vertical reaction x distance = 3453 × 50 = 172650 N-mm

From this we have the diameter of the shaft,

Considering the maximum permissible bending moment to be 40 N/mm2

172650 = π x ds3 x Mb /32x 4

On simplification we get, ds = 38 mm

Result:

Diameter of the shaft = 38 mm

2.7 Design of Crankshaft when the crank is at an angle of maximum twisting


moment
Force on the Piston Fp = Area of the bore x Max. Combustion pressure

                                     = π x D2 x Pmax /4

                                     = 28.25 KN
In order to find the thrust in the connecting rod (FQ), we should first find out the angle of

inclination of the connecting rod with the line of stroke (i.e. angle φ). We know that

Sin φ = Sin θ/ (L/R)

                      = Sin 35/ 4

Which implies φ = 8.75°

We know that thrust in the connecting rod

Fq = Fp / cos φ

From this we have,

Thrust on the connecting rod = 28.58 KN


Thrust on the crank shaft can be split into Tangential component and the radial component.

Tangential force on the crank shaft    = 19.49 KN

Radial force on the crank shaft           = 20.90 KN

Reactions at bearings (1 & 2) due to tangential force is given by,

Ht1 = Ht2 = 9.745 KN (Since b1=b2=b/2)

Similarly, Reactions at bearings (1 & 2) due to tangential force is given by,

Hr1 = Hr2 = 10.45 KN (Since b1=b2=b/2)

2.8 Design of Crank Pin


Let dc = Diameter of crankpin in mm.

We know that the bending moment at the centre of the crankpin,

MC = HR1 × b2 = 10.45 × 73 = 762.85 KN-mm

            Twisting moment on the crankpin,

TC = Ht1 × r = 9.745 × 75 = 730.87 KN-mm

From this we have the equivalent twisting moment = 1056.37 KN-mm

Shear stress value is limited to 35 N/mm2

dc = 49 mm
Since this value of crankpin diameter (i.e. dc = 49 mm) is less than the already calculated value
of dc = 52 mm, therefore, we shall take dc = 52 mm.

RESULT:

Diameter of the crank pin = 52 mm

2.9 Design of shaft under the flywheel


Let ds = Diameter of the shaft in mm.

The resulting bending moment on the shaft will be same as calculated earlier, i.e.

MS = 172650 N-mm

Twisting moment on the shaft, TS = FT × r = 146175 N-mm

∴ Equivalent twisting moment on shaft, Te = 226219 N-mm

We know that equivalent twisting moment (Te),


226219 = π x ds3 x τ /16  

Limiting the value of shear stress to 35 N/mm2

We have ds = 33 mm
Since this value of Shaft diameter (i.e. ds = 38 mm – calculated on basis of Max. bending
moment) is greater than the calculated value of ds = 33 mm (Through maximum twisting
moment), therefore, we shall take ds = 38 mm.

RESULT:

Diameter of the Shaft = 38 mm

 
Fig.2 Crank Shaft at maximum twisting moment

2.10 Design of Right Hand Crank Web


Let Sbr = Bending stress in the radial direction.

            Sbt = Bending stress in the tangential direction.

We also know that bending moment due to the radial component of FQ,

Max. Bending moment, Mr = Hr1x (b2 – lc/2 –t/2)

We have, Mr = 271700 N-mm

We also know that, Mr = Sbr x Z

We have Section modulus, Z = t x w2/6

From this we have,  Sbr = 7.07 N/mm2

Now bending moment due to the Tangential component of FT,

Max. Bending moment, Mt = Ft x (r – ds/2)

We have, Mt = 1091440 N-mm


We also know that, Mt = St x Z

We have Section modulus, Z = t x w2/6

From this we have, St = 15.52 N/mm2

Total bending stress = Sbr + St = 22.59 N/mm2

Max. Twisting moment, T = Ht x (b1 – lc/2) = 448270 N-mm

Shear stress = T/Zp (where Zp is the polar moment of Inertia given by wx t2 /4.5)

From this we get Shear stress = 10.04 N/mm2

We know that total or maximum combined stress,

(Sb) max = Sb / 2 +1/2 (Sb2 + 4 τ2) ^1/2

On simplification we get (Sb) max =22.74 N/mm2

Since the maximum combined stress is within the safe limits, therefore, the dimension

w = 71 mm is accepted.

RESULT:

Width of the Right hand web = 71 mm

2.11 Design of Left Hand Crank Web


The dimensions for the left hand crank web may be made same as for right hand crank web.

RESULTS
DIAMETER OF THE CRANK PIN = 52 mm

LENGTH OF THE CRANK PIN = 55 mm

DIAMETER OF THE SHAFT = 38 mm

WEB THICKNESS (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HAND) = 40 mm

WEB WIDTH (BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HAND) = 71 mm


3. Manufacturing Procedure
3.1 Material Selection

        Crank shafts uses Medium carbon steel along with some alloying elements. Medium-carbon
steel alloys are composed of predominantly the element iron, and contain a small percentage of
carbon (0.25% to 0.45), along with combinations of several alloying elements, the mix of which
has been carefully designed in order to produce specific qualities in the target alloy, including
hardenability, surface and core hardness, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, endurance limit
(fatigue strength), ductility, impact resistance and corrosion resistance. The alloying elements
typically used in these carbon steels are manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, silicon,
cobalt and vanadium. Each of those elements adds specific properties in a given material. The
carbon content is the main determinant of the ultimate strength and hardness to which such an
alloy can be heat treated.

Operation 1: Forging of crank shaft

    Crankshafts are formed by the Hot Forging process, in which a billet of suitable size is heated
to the appropriate forging temperature, typically in the range of 1050 - 1250°C, and then
successively pounded or pressed into the desired shape by squeezing the billet between pairs of
dies (Closed die forging) under very high pressure. These die sets have the concave negative
form of the desired external shape. Complex shapes and / or extreme deformations often require
more than one set of dies to accomplish the shaping.

               After Forging, the flash formed is removed by Gas cutting.

tonnes. Since we are going for mass production IE team proposed a change in the machine tonnage of
500 tonnes and a stroke speed of 15 sec per stroke

Operation 2: Centering and Facing

                         After this the raw material is held in the chuck and facing is done on one
side. It involves moving the cutting tool at right angles to the axis of rotation of the
rotating work piece. This can be performed by the operation of the cross-slide (Radial
feed) as distinct from the longitudinal feed (turning).An allowance of about 5 mm is
given for facing on one side. After this the other side is also faced for about 5 mm along
the length. For both the processes, Lathe is used with the specification of distance
between centers more than 1000 mm.

    After Facing, the centre drill is used and centering is done on both sides which will
enable to hold the work piece between centers

Operation 5: Oil Hole drilling

Oil holes deliver vital lubrication to contact points between piston connecting rods
and crankshafts in truck and car engines. For this, crankshaft in a horizontal position
and is mounted on a radial drilling machine since oil holes have to be drilled
perpendicular and at angles to the horizontal axis. Total of 8 oil holes (2 per Journal) of
diameter 4 mm are to be drilled at angles of 45 and 135 degrees. To drill the holes at
the angles (with respect to axis), the radial arm which can be swiveled about the vertical
axis is used.

special jig has to be designed for the drilling process

Operation 6: Heat Treatment

Regarding the steel alloys typically used in high-grade crankshafts, the desired
ultimate (and hence yield and fatigue) strength of the material is produced by a ‘heat
treatment’.

The typical heat-treating process for carbon-steel alloys is first to transform the
structure of the rough-machined part into austenite crystalline structure by heating the
part in an oven until the temperature throughout the part stabilizes in the neighborhood
of 1550°F to 1650°F) in an Induction furnace for about 2 hrs (Hardening). Next, the part
is removed from the heating oven and rapidly cooled in a medium of oil (Quenching) to
extract heat from the part at a rate sufficient to transform a large percentage of the
austenitic structure into fine-grained martensite. The desired martensitic post-quench
crystalline structure of the steel is the high-strength, high-hardness, form of the iron-
carbon solution. The rate of cooling required to achieve maximum transformation varies
with the harden-ability of the material, determined by the combination of alloying
elements.

After quenching the alloy steel material has reached a very high strength and
hardness, but, it lacks sufficient ductility and impact resistance. In order to produce the
combination of material properties deemed suitable for a given application, the part is
placed in a ‘Tempering’ oven and soaked for a specific amount of time at temperature
of 800 to 900 degree Celsius in order to reduce the hardness to the desired level, hence
producing the desired strength, ductility, impact resistance and other desired
mechanical properties.

Operation 7: Shot Blasting

    Black oxide layer formed during heat treatment process is removed by Shot blasting.
Shot blasting is a process that is often used to clean the surface of a material. The
process usually involves a gun that is used to shoot various types of media, or shot, at
the object being blasted. This is a particularly effective method for removing scale, rust,
paint, and minor surface flaws from metal objects. Also it helps to reduce the residual
stresses developed during the Heat treatment process.

bents. From the dial indicator reading it can be identified whether the crank shaft is bent
or not.
