Dynamic Stress Analysis of Engine Shafts in Automobile Industries

Abstract

In the present work, stress analysis of engine shafts in an Automobile industry has been
carried out. The dynamic analysis is performed on the engine shaft to determine stress and
deformation that developed across its length when subjected to variable loading conditions.
The modal analysis has also been carried out to determine the dynamic features of the shaft.
The results obtained by the stress analysis is found to be good agreement and the strains
developed are presented are within the limit. Simulation software is used to analyze the data
for various speeds of rotation of the engine shaft. The critical speed of the engine is predicted
based on the experimental and simulation values.
