Engine forces that acts on the crank pin.
There are two primary engine forces that act on the crankpin:
1.Tangential Force: This is the main force responsible for generating torque in the crankshaft. It acts along the radius of the crankpin, in a direction tangent to the circle traced by the crankpin center. This force originates from the combustion pressure pushing down on the piston in the engine cylinder. The connecting rod transmits this force to the crankpin at an angle, but the component of the force acting along the crankpin radius is the tangential force.
2.Radial Force: This force acts perpendicular to the crankpin radius, pushing the crankpin outwards. It arises due to the angle between the connecting rod and the crankpin at different points in the engine cycle. While not directly contributing to torque, the radial force plays a role in creating bending moments in the crankshaft and crankweb.
These forces are typically influenced by engine pressure, engine speed, connecting rod angle etc.
How to Calculate Resultant bending moment in side-crankshaft at juncture of crankweb for max torque?
Resultant bending moment in side-crankshaft at juncture of crankweb for max torque calculator uses Resultant Bending Moment at Crank-web Joint = sqrt((Tangential Force at Crankpin*(0.75*Length of Crankpin+Thickness of Crank Web))^2+(Radial Force at Crank Pin*(0.75*Length of Crankpin+Thickness of Crank Web))^2) to calculate the Resultant Bending Moment at Crank-web Joint, Resultant bending moment in side-crankshaft at juncture of crankweb for max torque is the net internal distribution of force induced at juncture of crank-web and crankshaft due to tangential and radial forces on crankpin. While designing the crankshaft we consider the maximum torque applied on the shaft to avoid failure. Resultant Bending Moment at Crank-web Joint is denoted by Mb symbol.
