%C Kuala Lumpur %X Stress analysis of a crankshaft using traditional method is complicated and needs modification by considering its stress concentration factors. To solve this problem, the crankshaft strength of a four-cylinder four stroke gasoline engine is modeled and analyzed using finite element method (FEM) in this paper. For this purpose, the crankshaft is modeled using CATIA software in detail. Then, the model is imported in ANSYS. In the recent software, the model is meshed into a number of finite elements. After defining the boundary and loading conditions, the stresses occur in the crankshaft are analyzed in order to identify critical locations on it. © 2014 Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences. %O cited By 1; Conference of 4th International Conference on Production, Energy and Reliability, ICPER 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:106620 %L scholars5017 %K Cylinders (shapes); Finite element method; Loading; Stress analysis; Stress concentration, Critical location; Four stroke gasoline engines; Loading condition; Stress concentration factors, Crankshafts %D 2014 %A S.
