Based on the virtual prototyping technology and flexible multibody system dynamic theory, the author founded the rigid-flexible coupling multibody dynamic analysis model of the crank and connecting rod mechanism of diesel engine, combining the means of 3D solid modeling, finite element analysis and multi-body dynamic simulation. Through the simulation, the dynamic loads in the working cycle of the mechanism are obtained, which provides reference for dynamic stress and fatigue analysis of the mechanism.

In signal cylinder diesel engine we often use dual shaft balance mechanism to balance reciprocating inertia force produced by the piston and moving parts, and reduce vibration of diesel engine. For this paper, the model crank -connecting rod and balance mechanism of a signal cylinder diesel engine were built in simulation software ADAMS. Piston’s movement law and its force curve have got through multi-body dynamics simulation to the model .By further processing to the simulation results, we got curves of piston’s reciprocating inertia force and balance shaft’s balance force. Comparing the two curves, we got the following conclusions: the difference between positive and negative peak for reciprocating inertia force that haven’t balanced was about 5500 Newton, which was equal to around 34% of the difference between the positive and negative peak for reciprocating inertia force, and the main reason for this is the dual shaft balance mechanism only balanced one step reciprocating inertia force; Though the balance effect was quite obvious, for ideal conditions there is a difference, and further improve can be done.

Crankshaft is one of the critical components of an IC engine, failure of which may result in disaster and makes engine useless unless costly repair performed. It possesses intricate geometry and while operation experiences complex loading pattern. In IC engines, the transient load of cylinder gas pressure is transmitted to crankshaft through connecting rod, which is dynamic in nature with respect to magnitude and direction. However, the piston along with connecting rod and crankshaft illustrate respective reciprocating and rotating system of components. the dynamic load and rotating system exerts repeated bending and shear stress due to torsion, which are common stresses acting on crankshaft and mostly responsible for crankshaft fatigue failure. Hence, fatigue strength and life assessment plays an important role in crankshaft development considering its safety and reliable operation. The present paper is based on comparative studies of two methods of fatigue life assessment of a single cylinder diesel engine crankshaft by using fracture mechanics approach viz. linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and recently developed critical distance approach (CDA). These methods predict crack growth, time required for failure and other parameters essential in life assessment. LEFM is an analytical method based on stress intensity factor which characteristics the stress distribution in the vicinity of crack tip, where as CDA is a group of methods predicts failure using stress distance plot. The maximum stress value required for both the methods are obtained using finite element analysis. The present paper provides an insight of LEFM and CDA methods along with its benefits to the designers to correctly assess the life of crankshaft at early stage of design. This paper also gives a detailed overview of failure analysis process including theoretical methods and result integration for predicting life of components as compared to life estimation by means of software.

Crankshaft is one of the key parts of the diesel engine. Several causes would be lead to the failure of the crankshaft. A novel strength analysis method is used for crankshaft high cycle fatigue simulation of the diesel engine based on flexible multi-body dynamics in this paper. In order to investigate the fatigue strength of other parts of the diesel engine at the same time, a complete coupled dynamic model of diesel engine crankshaft and block is built and coupled dynamics simulation is carried out. Then dynamics calculation results of each part is extracted for high cycle fatigue analysis and the reliability research of the crankshaft, The simulation results show that, the minimum safety factors of the crankshaft is 1.301, it meet the strength requirements, the safety factors of the block and the cap could be calculated at the same time. These suggest that this method can guide the design of the diesel engine crankshaft and has gained significant importance in practical study.

Based on the multi-body dynamics theory and modal-reduction analysis, finite element method and multi-body dynamics were combined to establish the flexible track model. The rigid-flexible coupled dynamics model can reflect the features of coupled vibration accurately. When the flexibility of the rail, damping and stiffness of support layers under the rail are taken into consideration, the whole track structure acted as a buffer while wheel and rail is interacting with each other. Compared with rigid track model, the wheel-rail vibration is less in the flexible track model. The proposed method in this paper is simple and effective, which makes the calculation of vehicle-track dynamic response more convenient and quick.
