Introduction

The crankshaft is a crucial component in the internal combustion engine, responsible for converting the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion. As the engine operates, the crankshaft is subjected to various loads and forces, which can lead to fatigue and failure over time. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a powerful tool used to analyze the structural behavior of components under different loading conditions.

This thesis focuses on the finite element analysis of a crankshaft for an internal combustion engine. The goal is to investigate the stress distribution, deformation, and fatigue life of the crankshaft under different operating conditions. By utilizing FEA, valuable insights can be gained into the performance and reliability of the crankshaft, leading to potential design improvements.
