Ijaems apr-2016-20 Design, Modeling and Analysis of Structural Strength of Cy...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
The proficiency of any automobile engine is deals with the structural strength of its cylinder and cylinder head. Cylinder and cylinder head are most important parts of an engine because the piston moving inside the cylinder, so friction between cylinder wall and piston is very higher and due to this the mechanical load or fatigue load acting on the cylinder. So that structure of cylinder should be stronger. The combustion chamber, crank case, piston, connecting rod, crankshaft and cylinder are placed under the cylinder head. Cylinder head provides the protection against the high thermal and mechanical load on an engine, so the cylinder head is “a protector” of an engine and its parts. The review of existing literature on design, modeling and analysis of cylinder and cylinder head is presented. 3D-model of cylinder and cylinder head were created using Pro/Engineer software and ANSYS was used to analyze the thermal and structural analysis. So finally design considerations, material specifications, failure analysis, these all are reviewed successfully over here.
GEOMETRIC OPTIMIZATION OF CRANK SHAFT FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT OF LIFEIjripublishers Ijri
Crankshaft is a component in an engine which converts the reciprocating motion of the piston to the rotary motion. Design
of a crankshaft of Honda engine, it is assembled by the connecting rod and piston components in Pro engineering.
The designed model of engine crankshaft is analyzed in pro engineering by using its mechanism. Piston generates the
forces due to the combustion. These forces acting on the piston are analyzed by using their mechanisms with respect
to crank angle.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROJECT ON FAILURE OF CRANKSHAFT IN DIESEL LOCOMOTIVEMdParwezAlam15
This project deals with the analysis about the various causes of
failures of the crankshaft of the diesel locomotive engine. It is found that
the cost for the crankshaft is very high whereas the lifecycle is not
satisfactory. The causes for the failure of the crankshaft and the possible
ways of minimising the failure effects were briefly studied from the past
failure specimen. The load bearing capacity of the crankshaft is
theoretically calculated and compared with the actual load acting on the
crankshaft. The suggestion were made for maximising the life of
crankshaft. Thus the lifecycle of the crankshaft is increased and the cost
for the maintenance is reduced.

structural and modal analysis of an engine block by varying materialsIjripublishers Ijri
The largest part of the engine is cylinder block. The upper section of the cylinder block consists of cylinders and pistons. Crankcase is supported by the crankshaft and it is placed in the lower section. Aluminum cylinder blocks are lighter than the cast-iron cylinder blocks of the same size. Cylinder block, pistons, cylinder head, crankshaft and connecting rods are the major elements of the engine. IC engine cooling uses either a liquid or gas to remove the unnecessary heat from an internal combustion engine. For special purpose and small engines, air cooling makes for a lightweight and relatively simple system, if we use the materials with better waste heat dissipation it will help in achieving better efficiencies and long life of the engine.

combustion chamber combustion rate, pressure and temperature gradient conditions are found and the best material
for the combustion chamber is suggested.
Thermal analysis is conducted to find heat dissipation rate in engine block with the variation of materials Structural
and fatigue analysis(dynamic) is conduct on engine block at working load conditions to evaluate and compare stress,
strain, deformation and fatigue life with the variation of materials.
Frequency analysis is conducted on engine block with the variation of materials to evaluate frequency,

variation value 65HZ.
Thermo Structural Analysis on Cylinder Head of 4 Stroke VCR Diesel EngineDr. Amarjeet Singh
The main aim of the project is to analyse the design performance of VCR 4 stroke Diesel engine cylinder head at the compression ratio 16.5 using Ansys software. The basic modelling is done on CATIA V5 software. The design exposition can be done structurally and thermally in ansys. By the structural analysis the maximum and minimum von misses stress, total deformation can be determined, the maximum gas pressure required for this analysis is taken from the experimental set up of VCR engine. With the steady state thermal analysis we will get the maximum temperature distribution and total heat flux of the cylinder head with the initial pressure value. The results of both the expositions are used to decide the critical areas of the cylinder head which require further amendment and also the quality of design. If the maximum stress is less than the material strength of the cylinder head then the basic design criteria can be achieved.
GEOMETRIC OPTIMIZATION AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF SIX CYLINDER DIESEL ENGIN...Ijripublishers Ijri
The crankshaft is that part of an engine which translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. To convert the
reciprocating motion into rotation, the crankshaft has "crank" or "crankpins", additional bearing surfaces whose axis is
offset from that of the crank, to which the "big ends" of the connecting rods from each cylinder attach.
The aim of the project work is to optimize the geometry shape of 6-cylinder diesel engine crank shaft to reduce the failures
and to reduce the weight. And also this project work will provide the brief explanation of manufacturing process.

Design, Analysis & Balancing of 5 Cylinder Engine CrankshaftIJMER
The crankshaft is a backbone of internal combustion engine. So the design & analysis is major
aspects to get high power transmission & efficiency. The selection of material is an important parameter
while designing any mechanical component. The material should be high strength & capacity to absorb
the shocks as well as fatigue. The material also have less wear tendency. The crankshaft should be high
torque transmitting capacity. So to achieve these objectives high carbon steel are used for design &
analysis purpose. This paper gives the idea about analysis as well as proper balancing of weights by using
these three materials. The modelling is done by using solid work software & then analysis by using ANSYS
software with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method. The 5 cylinder engine gives the power stroke at 144
degree angle. By addition of counterweights & modified design these odd cylinders are balanced properly.
The Finite Element Analysis Method is used to determine stress, strains & deflection at most stressed point
which results into failure of shaft. Results obtained from analysis are used during weight optimization. The
Shaft is analyzed using static analysis. For absorbing vibrations proper damping material is used to
achieve the requirement of safe design. The optimization results into reduction of weight as well as cost

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

3. INTRODUCTION
The crankshaft is located in the engine of a vehicle and converts the force
created by the engine's pistons moving up and down into a force that moves
the wheels in a circular motion so the car can go forward. Located inside the
car's engine, it is connected to all the pistons in the engine and to the flywheel.
To understand this shaft, it is important to understand how the pistons and the
flywheel work.
7. MAIN PARTS OF CRANKSHAFT
Web: The portion of a crank between the crankpin and the shaft or
between adjacent crankpins called also crank arm, crank throw.
Counter Weight: Crankshaft counter weights are needed to statically
and dynamically balance the crankshaft. Without them, the vibrations
caused will destroy it. If this is not done, the engine will experience
vibrations that will eventually tear up the main bearings and cause
damage.
Crank journals: In a reciprocating engine, the crankpins, also known as
crank journals are the journals of the big end bearings, at the ends of
the connecting rods opposite to the piston.
8. MAIN PARTS OF CRANKSHAFT
CRANK JOURNAL PIN
The oil passes through the ammonium crank with holes and passes
the oil inside the tube into the column to the spike and the connecting
column. The oil reaches the crankshaft through a pump located inside
the oil filter
9. MAIN PARTS OF CRANKSHAFT
Fly wheel
Flywheel is bolted and fixed connected to crankshaft.
And we cannot differentiate on macroscopic time scale the power stroke
or suction stroke or in which stroke the flywheel is storing the excessive
energy. Flywheel just stores the excessive energy in form of kinetic
energy and immediately after power stroke crankshaft uses it in other
power deficient strokes.
Flywheel rotates with same speed as crankshaft
16. DESIGN OF MULTI CYLINDER ENGINE CRANKSHAFT
Number of cylinders=4
Bore diameter (D) = 85 mm
Stroke length (l) = 96mm
Maximum combustion pressure=2.5 N/mm2
We know that force on the piston i,e: gas load
17. DESIGN OF MULTI CYLINDER ENGINE CRANKSHAFT
In order to find the thrust in connecting rod we should find out angle
of inclination of connecting rod with line of stroke.
18. DESIGN OF MULTI CYLINDER ENGINE CRANKSHAFT
Assume that the distance (b) between the bearings 1 and 2 is equal
to twice the piston diameter (D).
b = 2D = 2 × 85 =170mm
Due to this piston gas load (FP) acting horizontally, there will be two
horizontal reactions H1and H2 at bearings 1 and 2 respectively, such
that
b1 = b2= 85mm
19. DESIGN OF MULTI CYLINDER ENGINE CRANKSHAFT
Assume that the length of the main bearings to be 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 V2 and V3 at Bearings 2 and 3 respectively, such
that
33. MATERIAL SELECTION
Based on the stress imposed on the component during the operation, and operating
temperature, the material to be selected for this component should has the following
characteristics:
• The material should be strong in bending
• It must have excellent fatigue resistance.
• It must have less coefficient of thermal expansion so that the component can retain its
original dimension at varying temperatures.
• The material should be easily machinable so that it can take complex shape (as
required for the geometry of crankshaft) easily.
34. MATERIAL SELECTION
After carrying out an extensive research of materials, following materials were listed for
crankshaft:
(Aluminum, Copper, and Steel)
35. MATERIAL SELECTION
Aluminum
Aluminum is an excellent machinable metal. It can take complex shapes easily. Moreover,
it can absorb vibration very efficiently. However, the metal has lower modulus of elasticity
and higher coefficient of thermal expansion. Therefore, it will be subjected to larger
strains at higher stresses and high temperatures. Moreover, it does not has good
resistance to fatigue and corrosion.
36. MATERIAL SELECTION
Copper
It is easily machinable and has high strength. Moreover, it has good surface finish which
reduce friction. However, the biggest disadvantage of copper is that it is no corrosion
resistant. Corrosion rate is higher at higher temperature.
37. MATERIAL SELECTION
Steel
Steel is another option to be used as a material for crankshaft. Steel is a better
choice because, it possess excellent mechanical characteristics which make it
better for crankshaft. It has the highest modulus of elasticity. It is tough, strong,
easily available, cheap and it has very less coefficient of thermal expansion
which makes it best suited for high temperature operation.
An option for crankshaft material is carbon steel. However, these steels require
additional heat treatments to acquire required level of strength.
38. MATERIAL SELECTION
Steel
Iron crankshaft is also an option. However, iron cannot take higher loads
therefore, iron crankshafts are suitable for low output engines where stresses
are lower. They have the advantage of being low cost.
In fact, the most widely used material for crankshaft worldwide is Micro alloyed
steel. It has following advantages:
Micro alloyed steel can be air cooled after reaching high strength without
further heat treatment.
Low alloy content also makes the material cheaper than high alloy steels.
43. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The main manufacturing process of the forged crankshaft is hot forging and machining
and this is shown in a flowchart
1. The row material samples of the AISI 1045 are inspected for chemical composition.
2. The material is shaped and cut to the rough dimensions of the crankshaft.
3. The shaped material is heated in the furnace to the temperature of 900ºC to 1100ºC
Note: AISI 1045 carbon steel has melting temperature 2660 ºC
44. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
4. The forging process starts with the pre-forming dies, where the material is pressed
between two forging dies to get a rough shape of the crankshaft.
5. The forging process continues with the forging of the pre-formed crankshaft to its first
definite forged shape.
45. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
6. Trimming process cuts the flash which is produced and appears as flat unformed metal
around the edge of the component.
7. Twisting for 2nd and 4th Main journals
46. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
8. The exact shape of the forged crankshaft is obtained in the coining process where the
final blows of the hammer force the stock to completely fill every part of the finishing
impression.
9. Inspection for all dimensions
47. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
10. The machining process starts with the facing and Centering process.
The facing process is a machining operation that is a form of turning in
which the work piece rotation to produce flat surface. Centering refers to
the component according to the final dimensions
11. CAM turning is the process used to produce cylindrical components,
typically on a lathe. A cylindrical piece of stock is rotated and a cutting
tool is traversed along axes of motion to produce precise diameters and
depths.
48. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
12. In the drilling operation, all inner diameters are drilled in the crankshaft
geometry.
The drilling mainly consists of oil holes.
13. The final grinding of diameters sets the cylinder diameters to their final
acceptable
tolerance. This is followed by grinding of other sections such as grooves using
CAM.
49. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
14. The final step in grinding is face grinding, where the dimensions of the crankshaft will
be finalized.
15. The last step in the machining process is balancing the crankshaft. In this process the
crankshaft is mounted on two bearings in a device, and the dynamic balance of the
component is checked. Mass and location of material removal is specified. Drilling holes in
the counter weights will balance the crankshaft dynamically. The balance of the crankshaft
is checked once more on the device
50. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
16. Final washing of the component and preparation for final inspection.
17. The final inspection consists of checking diameter of cylinders, radius of crankshaft and
distance of faces
51. MANUFACTURING PROCESS
18. Heat treatment is the next step to obtain the desired mechanical properties for the
material.
