BEARING REACTIONS:
Pp = {Πd2 / 4} * pmax

It is assumed that the portion of the crankshaft between
bearings 1 & 2 is simply supported on the bearings and
subjected to force Pp . Taking the moment of forces:
Similarly
(Mb )c = (R1)v * b1
(Mb )c = (π / 32 dc3 ) σb
pb = Pp / dc lc
Let
t = 0.7dc
w = 1.14 dc
σc = (R1)v / wt

The bending moment is given by
(σc )t = σc + σb
(Mb )v = (R3’ )v c2
