DESIGN CALCULATIONS:
In the design of the crankshafts, it is assumed that
the crankshaft is a beam with two or more supports
Every crankshaft must be designed or checked at
least for two crank positions, one when the bending
moment is maximum, and the other when the
twisting moment is a maximum.
 In addition, the additional moments due to the
flywheel weight, belt tension and other forces must be
considered.
21

Krishnaraja G. Kodancha,Assistant Professor, BVBCET , Hubli
DESIGN CALCULATIONS(Contd..)
To make the calculations simpler, without loosing
accuracy, it is assumed that the effect of the
bending forces does not extend two bearings
between which a force is applied.
There are two considerations, which determine
the necessary dimensions of the crankpin. One is
that its projected bearing area (diameter times
length) must be large enough so it will safely
sustain the bearing loads imposed upon it by gas
pressure, inertia and centrifugal force; 21

DESIGN CALCULATIONS(Contd..)

The second, that the crankshaft as a whole must


be sufficiently rigid so that it will not vibrate
voilently under the periodic forces to which it is
subjected in service

Right Hand Crank Web:
Since the bearing 1 and 2 are usually of the same
length and symmetrical to the cylinder centerline,
therefore RH1(F) and RH2 (F) are equal. Hence
normally same dimensions are adopted for both
crank webs.

Otherwise, providing the dimensions empirically as


used in Left hand crank web and check is made as
follows:

Krishnaraja G. Kodancha,Assistant Professor, BVBCET , Hubli

Superimposing the direct and bending stresses we
get total stress on the web, and check against the
allowable stresses. To avoid the manufacturing
difficulties keep the same dimensions for both Webs
by taking higher h and w values.

Crank at angle of maximum Twisting Moment
The twisting moment on the crankshaft will be
maximum, when the tangential force Ft is maximum
and this can be calculated graphically by taking
pressures from the net effort diagram for different
crank angles. The angle usually lies between 250 to
350 from the dead center for a constant volume
combustion engines and between 300 to 400 for
constant pressure combustion engines. At this angle,
the gas pressure will not be maximum. (FIG 3.1/50 in
design data book) 26

In this position of the crankshaft, the different


sections will be subjected to both bending and
torsional moments and these must be checked for
combined stress. At this point, Shear stress is
taken as failure criteria for crankshaft.

Crankshaft bearings:

The distance between bearing 1 and bearing 2


may be assumed to be equal to twice the
cylinder diameter. From the length of the
crankpin and the thickness of the arm, the
lengths of the bearings can be found out.
Bearing 2 is the most heavily loaded, therefore,
only this bearing may be checked for the safe
bearing pressure. 41
