Original abstract

This article presents part of the crankshaft development of a two-stroke compression-ignition engine with contra-running pistons where, for invariably specified diameters and pin lengths, the optimal crankshaft shape is searched for. The process of creating several options which are then subjected to critical evaluation followed by the selection mechanism for the final best possible design is described. As the final step of the design process the resulting crankshaft shape is examined by calculation of fatigue life.

Keywords in English

Crankshaft, topological optimisation, fatigue life.
