Abstract

In this article, a crankshaft design has been made for a compression ignition internal combustion engine that is planned to be used in an aerial vehicle. Alternative models were designed as hollow pins with different diameters. Finite element analysis was performed on 1 reference model and 3 alternative models using AISI 1045 and AISI 4140 materials. As the hollow diameter increases for both materials; maximum of equivalent stress has increased and minimum of safety factor has decreased. As a result of the study, it has been evaluated that the alternative 3 with AISI 4140 material is suitable for use on the crankshaft.
