Abstract
The crankshaft is a critical component in internal combustion engines, serving as the backbone of the engine's power transmission system. Over the years, advancements in computational tools have revolutionized the design and development processes of mechanical components, including crankshafts. This review paper provides an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art techniques employed in the design and development of crankshafts, with a specific focus on utilizing ANSYS software for comprehensive analysis and modeling. The paper begins by highlighting the fundamental importance of the crankshaft in ensuring the efficient conversion of reciprocating motion into rotary motion within an engine. Subsequently, it delves into the historical evolution of crankshaft design methodologies, emphasizing the transition from traditional analytical methods to advanced numerical simulations facilitated by ANSYS software. In conclusion, this comprehensive review consolidates the current knowledge on the design and development of crankshafts using ANSYS software. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in the automotive and mechanical engineering fields, offering a roadmap for future advancements in crankshaft technology. Ultimately, the integration of ANSYS in the analysis and modeling of crankshafts is shown to be a pivotal factor in advancing the efficiency, reliability, and overall performance of internal combustion engines.
