Abstract:The performance and safety of any vehicle relies on proper design of crankshaft. Crankshaft failure occurs mainly due to the combination of imbalance and minor deflections when the materials is subjected to combined bending and twisting. Failure analysis is crucial to identify the causes and modes of failure, in order to improve the service life of automotive crankshafts and prevent accidents. This research analyses the root cause of failure by testing a failed crankshaft of a twin cylinder diesel engine used … Show more
