Eixos de virabrequim estão sujeitos a carregamentos multiaxiais quando em serviço. Por se tratar de um estado complexo de tensões, os modelos aplicados na determinação da vida em fadiga de tais componentes devem permitir, também, uma abordagem multiaxial, mais avançados do que aqueles adotados para carregamentos uniaxiais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi prever a falha em serviço de eixos virabrequins de unidades geradoras Diesel ou gás de plantas termoelétricas. Falhas recentemente ocorridas em eixos virabrequins no parque termoelétrico nacional justificam o presente estudo, para garantir eficiência e segurança nas operações industriais. Com base no método de elementos finitos, foram calculadas as tensões atuantes em um eixo virabrequim de unidade geradora a gás, com 10 mancais, duas bielas por mancal e fabricado com aço estrutural DIN 34CrNiMo6. Em sequência, adotando-se estas tensões atuantes calculadas, foram aplicados diversos critérios de fadiga para prever sua falha. Para tal, adotaram-se os modelos de Papadopoulos, Findley, Matake, McDiarmid, Carpinteri e Spagnoli, Liu e Mahadevan, Mises, Sines e Crossland, todos de fadiga de alto ciclo, baseados no plano crítico ou na tensão de von Mises. Propriedades de resistência à fadiga do material foram retiradas da literatura. Os resultados obtidos indicaram que o componente é seguro quando avaliado usando tais critérios.
Crankshaft axles are subject to multiaxial loading when in service. Because the resulting state of stresses is complex, models applied to determining the fatigue life of such components employ a multiaxial approach as well, more advanced than those adopted for uniaxial loads. The objective of this work is to predict the failure in service of crankshafts of diesel or gas generating units of thermoelectric plants. Crankshafts reported recent failures in the national thermoelectric power plant justifies the present study, to guarantee efficiency and safety in such industrial operations. Based on the finite element method, the resulting stresses on a DIN 34CrNiMo6 structural steel gas generating unit crankshaft, with 10 bearings, two connecting rods per bearing were calculated. Using these finite element calculated stresses, several fatigue criteria were applied to predict this cranckshaft structural failure. Models due to Papadopoulos, Findley, Matake, McDiarmid, Carpinteri and Spagnoli, Liu and Mahadevan, Mises, Sines and Crossland, all of high cycle fatigue based on the critical plane or von Mises strain, were adopted. Material fatigue properties used in the analyses were compiled from specidized literature. Obtained results indicated that the component considered is safe regarding fatigue loadings, as evaluated using such criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICEs) is far from optimal. Due to the continuously increasing demands on CO2 regulations, automobile industries are forced to improve such efficiency. A crankshaft roller bearing (CSRB) can lead to significant improvements in engine efficiency. However, before this can be implemented into an actual engine, several challenges have to be addressed. One such challenge is the satisfactory performance of CSRB. The current crankshaft limits the service life since it must act as a roller bearing raceway. Therefore, better material properties are required for the use of CSRB in crankshaft applications. In order to select suitable material for the CSRB, development of several characterization methods is required. These methods are based on failure modes that are expected to occur in the actual application. Surface initiated fatigue was shown to be the main failure mode that could lead to complete failure of such a component. The following three characterizations needs are identified: material characterization, lubricant characterization and surface roughness characterization. Two of these methods are partially part of this thesis. Material characterization is required to select the optimal steel candidate for the CSRB component. A method was developed to assess the damage modes on a reference 100Cr6 steel pair under conditions prevalent to CSRB application. However, fully formulated oil was excluded from this investigation and only low-additive oil was employed. Micro-pitting and wear damage modes were identified and were later assessed. Different surface roughness combinations were tested, from where micro-pitting regions were identified. In addition, the effects of surface hardness and sliding on micro-pitting and wear were investigated. It was found that hard steel contacts are more prone to micro-pitting damage compared to soft ones, but less susceptible to mild wear. In addition, higher sliding increases the degree of micro-pitting and wear. Lubricant characterization was performed to optimize the engine oil formulation for rolling contacts. A method to assess different engine oils in terms of micro-pitting and wear damages of rolling contacts was employed. The effect of viscosity, additive chemistry and different mixtures of base oils on aforementioned performance were presented and discussed. In addition, lubricant characterization will provide in-depth knowledge for engine oils’ manufacturers to improve engine oil formulations for satisfactory performances of CSRB design.

Full textAbstract:
With tougher emission standards for heavy duty trucks, good control of the engine is of importance. By taking into consideration the torsional vibrations occurring in the crankshaft, the engine control can be improved. This could be done by implementing a torsion model that would give feedback to the engine control unit to reduce the cycle-to-cycle variations in the cylinders, which is partly due to the torsion in the crankshaft. It is therefore of interest to determine if a torsion model can be developed with a reduced computational complexity and still have sufficient accuracy. In this thesis a model was developed in Matlab for estimation of torsion in the crankshaft of an inline 6 cylinder diesel engine. By applying Newtons second law, the equations of motion that describe the torsional vibrations in the crankshaft were set up. The equations of motion were transformed using modal analysis and with the use of mode superposition it was investigated how reducing the number of vibrational modes in the model, affected the models accuracy in its estimation of torsion. Two model reductions were evaluated where the first three and four vibrational modes were used to calculate the torsional displacement between the flywheel and the cylinders. Using measured pressure curves for a number of operating points of the engineas input to the model, results were produced for different crank angle intervalsshowing deviations between the developed torsion models and a reference models estimation of torsion. Due to the damping approximation used in the model, high initial deviations could be found at certain operating points beforereducing the number of vibrational modes. These initial deviations weregreatest for the first two cylinders. Results from the model reductions showed that using the first three vibrational modes in the torsion model, is sufficient for estimating the torsional displacement between the flywheel and all cylinderswith an accuracy of within 0.1 degrees, with the exception of the first two cylinders for the early and late combustion interval.

As previsões de falhas por fadiga tornam-se críticas sob condições multiaxiais de carregamento, uma vez que a complexidade do estado de tensões requer uma análise com base em modelos mais avançados do que aqueles adotados para carregamentos uniaxiais. Neste contexto, alguns critérios foram desenvolvidos para tentar prever a falha de componentes submetidos a carregamentos cíclicos multiaxiais. Um exemplo de componente mecânico sujeito a fadiga multiaxial quando em serviço são os eixos virabrequim de unidades geradoras de plantas termoelétricas. Usualmente projetados segundo o critério de Findley, falhas recentes de eixos virabrequim ocorridas no parque termoelétrico nacional, tem provocado o questionamento da eficiência de tal critério. Desta forma, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a aplicabilidade de seis modelos (Papadopoulos, Findley, Matake, McDiarmid, Carpinteri e Spagnoli e Liu e Mahadevan) de fadiga multiaxial de alto ciclo, baseados no plano crítico, para prever a falha de eixos virabrequim de unidades geradoras. Para aplicação dos modelos, adotaram-se diferentes parâmetros de carregamento (tensão média e defasagem de aplicação das tensões normais e cisalhantes) e propriedades de material (resistência à fadiga), partindo de valores encontrados na literatura. Observou-se uma divergência entre os resultados de cada modelo estudado, sendo uns mais conservadores do que os outros, em função do carregamento e propriedades do material. Entretanto, o modelo de Papadopoulos, com base na facilidade de aplicação e sensibilidade de previsão da falha, mostrou-se mais adequado.
The fatigue failure prediction becomes critical under multiaxial loading conditions, since the complexity of the stress state requires analysis based on models more advanced than those adopted for uniaxial loads. In this context, some criteria were developed in an attempt to predict the failure of components subjected to multiaxial cyclic loads. An example of mechanical component subject to multiaxial fatigue is the crankshaft of thermoelectric plants. It is usually projected according to the Findley criterion. However, recent failures of crankshafts occurring in the national thermoelectric park, put on doubt the efficiency of such criterion. In this way, the present study aimed to analyze the applicability of six models (Papadopoulos, Findley, Matake, McDiarmid, Carpinteri e Spagnoli and Liu e Mahadevan) of high cycle multiaxial fatigue, based on the critical plane, to predict failure on crankshaft of generating units. For the models application, different loading parameters (medium stress and out-of-phase stresses) and material properties (fatigue limit) were adopted, starting from values found in the literature. A divergence between the results of each model was observed, some of them were more conservative than the others, depending on the loading and material s properties. However, the Papadopoulos model, based on easy application and failure prediction sensitivity, proved to be more suitable than the others.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the behavior of a reversible two-cylinder refrigerant compressor manufactured by Bristol Compressor Incorporated. This compressor contains a specialized linkage that causes the compressor to transition from a two-cylinder compressor to a single-cylinder compressor when the direction of rotation of the crankshaft is reversed. The linkage accomplishes this by reducing the throw of one cylinder to zero. Of interest are the conditions to which this linkage is subjected when the direction of rotation is again reversed, causing the compressor to return to its two-cylinder functioning. When this reversal takes place, a collision occurs within the linkage. These repeated collisions are thought to be the cause of fatigue failure of the linkage in many of these compressors.
To verify that this collision is the problem, an understanding of the stress state during the collision is needed. This thesis begins the work necessary to determine the dynamic stress state present within the system.
A FORTRAN program was developed that modeled the kinematic behavior of the system under operating conditions. The program predicts the accelerations, velocities, positions, and internal forces present within the system during startup conditions.
Also, a method has been developed to model rotary sliding contact between two cylindrical surfaces. This method is developed and investigated in hopes that it will facilitate the modeling of the behavior of the compressor linkage in a dynamic finite element analysis.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
The increasing demands from governments on the engine manufactures to lower the fuel consumption, lower the exhaust emissions and to reduce the noise have lead to an intensive research in the combustion process. Measurement of the combustion process inside the cylinder is only suitable in laboratory environment due to a number of limitations; the pressure transducer needed to measure the pressure is expensive, difficult to mount in the cylinder and has a limited lifetime that is much shorter than the engine's lifetime. Demands of on-board diagnostics where the combustion process is continuously monitored, on production vehicles have created a need for a method to indirectly measure the combustion process. The two main indirect methods are vibration measurement based reconstruction and crankshaft angular speed measurement reconstruction. The combustion process give rise to vibrations in the engine body that in the former method is measured with an accelerometer and the pressure can be reconstructed by using inverted transfer functions. The idea behind the latter method, the crankshaft angular speed reconstruction method, is that when one cylinder fires the produced torque is higher than the load torque and the crankshaft accelerates. As next cylinder goes into compression the total load torque increases and the crankshaft speed will decrease. This is repeated when the next cylinder fires and the produced crankshaft speed fluctuations will then contain information about the combustion and compression that caused it. In this thesis an indirect method to predict the maximum cylinder pressure is developed based on the crankshaft speed fluctuations combined with neural networks. The speed fluctuations were measured on a 6-cylinder inline diesel engine at 9 speed-load-combinations. A two layer (one hidden and one output layer) feedforward neural network was trained with the backpropagation algorithm. The prediction accuracy for pmax was found to be better than ±5 % at 95%-confidence interval for the validation set. Another important parameter for the engine control and for optimising the fuel efficiency at the same time as the exhaust emissions are kept to a minimum, is the position of the pistons most upper position, TDC (top dead centre). The TDC position is normally measured mechanically with means that need access to the cylinders (the cylinder head has to be removed). This method is time consuming and therefore expensive and because of that not used on production engines. Several indirect methods to measure the TDC- positions have been suggested. Either based on measured cylinder pressures, that again need a pressure transducer mounted in the cylinder, or on the crankshaft speed fluctuations. An indirect method based on the speed fluctuations, that are measured when the starter motor rotates the engine with turned off ignition, is developed. From the measured crankshaft speed fluctuations the TDC-positions can be determined either by curve fitting or with neural networks. The TDC position determined by curve fitting has a bias error, due to the out-of-phase acceleration component in the crankshaft that are induced by the starter motor, but also caused by heat exchange between the compressed gas and the cylinder walls and gas. The results from the neural network were found to be better and the TDC-position for all 6 cylinders was determined within ±0.1 degree crank angle at 95%-confidence interval.Godkänd; 2001; 20070110 (biem)

Full textAbstract:
Improving vehicle efficiency and complying to stricter exhaust emission legislations are some of the driving factors to advancement in technology of engine components. The main bearings in an internal combustion engine contribute significant amount of friction. These bearings support engine loads and allow free rotation of the crankshaft. The bearings consist of a steel backing, a lining material and an optional overlay. The overlays help to minimize friction and enhance seizure resistance during adverse operating conditions. The aim of the thesis is to study the friction and wear performance of five multi-layered bearings with various overlays. A bi-metal bearing is used as the reference for comparison. Additionally, influence of two shaft surface textures are also studied comparing to the standard shaft surface finish. A modified twin-disc test rig is used to evaluate tribological performance of the bearing system. Forced misalignment tests were also performed to simulate edge contact conditions, which occur in an engine due to shaft deflection, asymmetrical loading and other factors. The bearing surface profiles were measured using an optical interferometer. The test setup showed good repeatability and consistent results. Relative friction and wear performance are compared and the bearings are ranked accordingly. One bearing type with a polymer and MoS2 overlay showed the best overall performance. This bearing combined with a plateau textured shaft further lowered the friction coefficient by 3 % in boundary and mixed lubrication regime.

Full textAbstract:
"Due to the dramatic growth in the use of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications - ranging from environment and habitat monitoring to tracking and surveillance, network research in WSN protocols has been very active in the last decade. With battery-powered sensors operating in unattended environments, energy conservation becomes the key technique for improving WSN lifetimes. WSN Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols address energy awareness and reduced duty cycles since the radio is the component that consumes most of the energy. This thesis investigates the performance of two recently published energy-aware MAC protocols, Crankshaft and SCP-MAC. Crankshaft has been shown to be one of the best protocols in terms of energy consumption in dense WSNs while SCP-MAC has a dedicated low duty cycle and low average latencies. The focus of this investigation is to discover techniques for reducing the latency of Crankshaft. Using OMNeT++, an open source and component-based simulation framework, this study investigates possible modifications to Crankshaft to improve its latency. The potential improvements considered include modifications to Crankshaft’s retransmission contention scheme (Sift), adjustments to its inherent settings, and investigating the impact of ACKs. Since OMNeT++ readily provided only a variant of SCP-MAC identified as SCP-MAC*, the simulations results presented involve comparing variants of both protocols (Crankshaft and SCP-MAC*). The performance of these protocols is also analyzed using distinct sensor node communication patterns. It was determined that Crankshaft’s latency depends on its ACK/Retransmission settings. Specifically, Crankshaft has the best latency with No ACKs, without much loss in energy consumption. But the latency can also be improved when ACKs are enabled by reducing the number of retries. Furthermore, the latency and delivery ratio are also directly governed by the WSN traffic pattern and the congestion in the network, as there was a noticeable improvement for both parameters in one-hop traffic, compared to multi-hop convergecast traffic to the sink. Finally, it was observed that Crankshaft’s broadcast performance in flooding traffic can be improved by increasing the number of broadcast slots used, though this is detrimental to its performance in unicast traffic."

Full textAbstract:
A controlled continuous laser output using a circular geometry with a gaussian intensity distribution was used to harden the surface of a particular metal specimen (44MnSiVS6). Said beam operated within a relatively small power interval, just barely past the melting point. The resulting martensite track was shown to expand laterally at a positive exponential rate, with respect to the energy input. This was furthermore accompanied with an increase of the average slope at each lateral edge. The thickness was seen to expand at a significantly slower rate (by about one order of magnitude), with declining efficiency in regard to the energy input used. Thermal measurements along the surface indicated somewhat uniform temperature patterns within a relatively large area surrounding the middle of the beam spot. Though a slight elevation in temperature was often noted in the vicinity of its centre. In addition to using a gaussian beam, three other intensity distributions were utilized. The results obtained from said distributions may suggest effectual alterations to occur in terms of the shape and extent of the resulting martensite zone, if the spread of the gaussian intensity profile is allowed to be modified. Ideally, this would be carried out while still remaining close to the melting point, as well as keeping the spot size unchanged. A series of vicker's hardness measurements was carried out for each track induced by a different beam distribution. A clear transition in hardness was noted across the perceived boundary between the martensite zone and the base material, confirming the legitimacy regarding the phase identification.Stiffcrank - Advanced laser surface hardening of microalloyed steels for fatigue enhancement of automotive engine components, funded by EU-RFCS, no. 754155

Full textAbstract:
A crankshaft is a component which is used to convert a reciprocating movement into rotating or vice versa. Through the past years classical manufacturing techniques did not leave space for a new approach regarding manufacturing this component. Powder Metallurgy provides a manufacturing technique which can revolutionize this procedure and make it more economical and more efficient. In order for this to be achieved, the crankshaft must be produced in different pieces. Webs, counter-webs and journal shafts must be produced individually and assembled together. The main challenge in this thesis is to understand if the crankshaft’s counter webs could be manufactured all in the same pieces or in as less pieces as possible. This thesis deals mostly with the technical requirements and proposing a new modular design. A kinematic-kinetic analysis is performed by using the values from the existing crankshaft which has been scanned and converted into a CAD model. The numerical values from the kinetic-kinematic analysis in Matlab are compared with a MBS model from Adams. Then the balancing of the crankshaft is analyzed and it is investigated how the counterweights should be arranged in space and what should be the mass and the geometrical properties of them. From the component’s design specifications, several models are generated and evaluated with the Pugh matrix. The original and the new proposed models are compared as far as concern the mass, center of mass, mass moment of inertia and natural frequencies.En vevaxel är en motorkomponent som används för att omvandla den fram- och återgående rörelsen hos kolv och vevstake till en roterande rörelse. De klassiska metoderna att tillverka vevaxlar har varit dominerande och inte gett någon plats för alternativa tillverkningsmetoder. Powder manufacturing är en metod som kan revolutionera produktionens effektivitet och ekonomi. För att denna tillverkningsmetod ska vara möjlig måste vevaxeln tillverkas i delar. Webs, counter-weights och journal shafts måste produceras individuellt för att sedan sammanfogas. Den största utmaningen för denna avhandling är att förstå om vevaxelns counter webs kan tillverkas med samma form eller med så få olika former som möjligt. Denna avhandling handlar främst om att fastställa dessa tekniska krav och föreslå en ny, modulär design för PM. En kinematisk-kinetisk analys utförs med hjälp av en befintlig vevaxel som skannats och omvandlats till en CAD-modell. De numeriska värdena jämförs med en MBS-modell från Adams. Vevaxeln analyseras med avseende på balansering då motvikternas placering, massa och geometriska egenskaper undersöks. Nya modeller som följer de tekniska krav som krävs skapas och utvärderas med Pugh-matris. De nya föreslagna modellerna jämförs med den ursprungliga utformningen med tanke på massa, masscentrum, MMOI och egenfrekvenser.

With respect to a dynamic character of the loading, the crankshaft is then reduced into a MNF file for the purpose of dynamic simulations in the MBS ADAMS/Engine. The full range of working RPMs is simulated in it. Beside the crankshaft the main and pin bearings are studied too. At the last part of this thesis the durability of the crankshaft is solved.

Thesis (M. Diploma (Mechanical Engineering))--Cape Technikon, 1992.Radius hardening on journals of forged steel Diesel engine crankshafts is performed in order to increase fatigue life characteristics. This requirement may be necessary if the demands for engine power are to be increased, but where the existing crankshaft design is close to its fatigue limit, such that an increase in loading will cause it to'fail. Induction hardening of journal radii changes the make-up of the material from a coarse to a fine crystalline structure which alters the features of crack propagation. As a consequence of this higher loads can be applied onto the crankshaft without ultimately resulting in catastrophic material failure. Extending the induction hardened zone from the bearing surfaces into the radii of journals, culminates in process difficulties which are not experienced in non-radius hardened Hardening of journal radii induces crankshafts. as well as releases stresses in the crankshaft webs. This results in a deformation of the crankshaft which can be measured in the form of journal runout. Such a problem cannot be overcome by straightening the crankshafts in order to reduce runout, since this will cause Straightening hand induces the radii to crack once hardened. in the unhardened state on the other stresses which will be released again after hardening. This results in an increase in runout. High runout indicates that stresses have been induced into the crankshaft material. This is undesirable since this will make critical manufacturing processes such as grinding, governing of journal lengths, uncontrollable. It can furthermore result in creep of the crankshaft long after the manufacturing date. This results in crankshaft deformation, noticeable through an increase in runout. Since the crankshaft cannot be straightened after hardening, the consequence is that it will be unusable. The process must therefore be developed in such a manner, that all variables which can contribute towards stress induction resulting in journal 'runout, must be investigated and resolved.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, effect of fillet rolling process on fatigue performance of a diesel engine crankshaft was investigated. Crankshafts from two different materials, were studiedductile cast iron EN-GJS 800-2 and micro-alloyed steel 38MnVS6. Resonance bending fatigue tests were conducted with crankshaft samples. Test plan according to staircase test methodology was used. Statistical analyses were carried out with the test data by Maximum Likelihood Estimation method in order to calculate the fatigue limits and construct the S-N curves based on Random Fatigue Limit (RFL) and Modified Basquin models. Fatigue limit calculations were also conducted by Dixon-Mood method and by Maximum Likelihood Estimation methodology for Normal and Weibull distributions. Fillet rolling process was simulated by computer based analysis in order to calculate the compressive residual stress profile at the fillet region to shed more light on the mechanisms and effect of fillet rolling. Fatigue performances of crankshafts from two types of materials were evaluated both at unrolled and fillet rolled states. Effect of fillet rolling load on fatigue performance was also evaluated with steel crankshafts. It was found that ductile cast iron showed better performance under bending fatigue tests than the steel crankshaft both at the fillet rolled and unrolled conditions. On the other hand, fillet rolling process was found to be more effective on steel crankshaft than ductile cast iron crankshaft in terms of fatigue performance improvement. It was also seen that fatigue limit increases with the fillet rolling load up to a limit where surface quality is deteriorated. Residual stress analysis showed that a higher magnitude of residual stress can develop on steel crankshaft fillet region whereas the effective depth of the residual stress is higher on ductile cast iron crankshaft with the same rolling condition. Residual stress analysis of steel crankshafts rolled at different rolling conditions show that, peak residual stress increase with the increasing rolling load is not significantly high and main effect of increased rolling load is the increased effective depth of residual stresses. The MLE methodology used in statistical analysis of the test data was found to be effective for life regression and fatigue strength distributions analysis. RFL model has provided better life regression analysis and fatigue limit calculations than Modified Basquin model. Dixon-Mood method was found to be overestimating the fatigue limit.

This thesis presents research work which is concerned with the development of analytical and numerical methods for the dynamic analysis of the crankshaft-crankcase assembly. The effects of interaction of crankshaft and crankcase on the dynamic response of an IC engine block structure are studied. These methods are especially attractive for the simulation of the steady state response of rotating systems with many degrees of freedom which are forced by multiple periodic excitations. A major novelty of the methods is the ability to model the system non-linearities successfully as frequency dependent properties.

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo deste trabalho foi a análise de estratégias de retificação de virabrequins automotivos forjados utilizando rebolos de CBN vitrificados em altas velocidades. As estratégias analisadas foram: a retificação de mergulho (estratégia A) e a retificação axial (estratégia B). Foi proposta uma nova estratégia de retificação, denominada estratégia C - retificação axial múltipla, sendo esta inédita. Nesta subdividi-se o espelho do virabrequim em trechos, retificando-se o sobremetal radial do espelho em múltiplos estágios. Os aspectos teóricos das estratégias foram determinados, apresentando-se uma formulação matemática para o cálculo da taxa de remoção de material específica ao longo do perfil do rebolo utilizado. Testes comparativos foram realizados em que os principais aspectos para uma retificação eficiente foram determinados. Primeiramente verificou-se a necessidade de uma operação de dressagem efetiva, a fim de se obter uma agressividade na face do rebolo necessária para evitar o empastamento do mesmo e a queima do espelho. Para tanto, além da escolha correta da configuração e dos parâmetros de dressagem verificou-se a necessidade de um sistema de monitoramento que permita a detecção e a avaliação de possíveis não-conformidades. A utilização de um sistema de fluido de corte e de limpeza a alta pressão eficientes contribuíram para a redução dos cavacos alojados na porosidade do rebolo, evitando assim seu empastamento prematuro. Com base no modelo teórico proposto foi possível determinar-se a região de máxima solicitação do rebolo em função das estratégias adotadas, possibilitando o planejamento e a adoção das condições de usinagem mais favoráveis na redução do desgaste do rebolo e, por conseqüência, os desvios geométricos da peça usinada. Nos testes comparativos entre as estratégias verificou-se a possibilidade de utilização de todas. Porém, cada qual apresentando suas particularidades. Considerando-se o mesmo tempo de corte, a retificação de mergulho (estratégia A) apresenta a menor taxa de remoção de material específica e a mais ampla região de máxima solicitação do rebolo, sendo esta fixa e igual ao sobremetal no espelho. Neste caso a área sujeita ao desgaste na ferramenta é maior. De forma oposta, a estratégia B (retificação axial) apresenta a menor região de solicitação da ferramenta, sendo esta igual ao avanço axial por volta. Todavia nesta estratégia a taxa de remoção de material específica é máxima, sendo função do sobremetal radial da peça, diferença entre os raios máximo e mínimo do espelho. Nesta, a área desgastada será mínima, porém, esta região sofrerá a máxima solicitação e maior desgaste, com risco de empastamento do rebolo e queima da peça. A adoção da retificação axial múltipla (estratégia C) permite combinar a flexibilidade da alteração da região de máxima solicitação do rebolo com variações na taxa de remoção de material específica para cada estágio, reduzindo a tendência de queima e empastamento do rebolo, caracterizando-se como uma solução intermediária entre a retificação de mergulho e a axial. Verificou-se que a variação no número de estágios tem influência direta no volume de material removido e no desgaste radial do rebolo. Uma simulação foi desenvolvida para o desgaste radial do rebolo para cada estratégia testada.The aim of this study was the analysis of grinding strategies for high speed grinding of forged automotive crankshaft using vitrified CBN wheels. The grinding strategies tested were: the plunge grinding (strategy A) and the face grinding (strategy B). A new grinding strategy was proposed, the multi-steps face grinding, which is innovative. In this strategy, the sidewall is divided into circular regions, removing the sidewall stock into multiple steps. The theoretical aspects of each strategy were determinate and the mathematic formulation for the specific material removal rate calculation along the wheel profile is presented. Comparative tests were performed in which the main aspect for an efficient grinding operation were determinate. First of all, the necessity of a high efficient dressing operation was detected, in which the achieving the adequate sharpness of the dressed wheel sidewall is mandatory to avoid the wheel loading and the workpiece sidewall burning. For that, besides the correct configuration and selection of the dressing parameters, it was noticed that a monitoring system is essential for the detection of non-adequate dressing operations. The adoption of an improved cutting fluid application system and scrubbers (high pressure nozzles) leaded to chips clogging reduction and premature wheel loading. Based on the proposed theoretical model it was possible to determine the region of the maximal wheel strength due to the adopted grinding strategy, allowing the process design, including the most favorable cutting conditions for the workpiece geometrical errors avoidance. In the comparative test among the strategies, it was possible to verify that all strategies can be adopted, although each of them with their particularities, which must be taken into account. Considering the same cutting time, the plunge grinding strategy (strategy A) presented the lowest specific material removal rate and the widest affected wheel region, which is fixed and equal to the sidewall stock. In this situation, the worn area is the widest. On the other hand, the face grinding strategy (strategy B) presented the narrowest affected area, with width equal to the axial infeed. Although in this strategy, the specific material removal rate is maximal, depending on the radial stock of the sidewall. The worn region is the narrowest, but the with greatest wheel wear values will be observed in this region. The wheel loading and the workpiece burn can easily occur. The adoption of the multi-steps face grinding (strategy C) allows the combination between the flexibility of changing the width of the affected wheel region and the specific material removal rate for each step, reducing the occurrence of workpiece burn and wheel loading. It is an alternative between the plunge grinding and face grinding. It was possible to verify that the number of steps has a direct influence on the volume of removed material and on the wheel wear. A simulation was developed for the wheel wear for each strategy.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of control systems and diagnostics in vehicles are increasing and has resulted in several new methods to calculate better control signals. The performance can be increased by calculating these signals close to optimum, but that also require more and precise information regarding the system.
One of the wanted control signals are the crankshaft torque and the thesis presents two different methods to estimate this torque using engine speed variations. These methods are Modeling of the Crankshaft and Frequency Analysis. The methods are evaluated and implemented on for a four cylinder SAAB engine. Measurements are made in an engine test cell as well as a vehicle.
The results show that the Modeling of the Crankshaft method does not produce a satisfying estimation, with a difference of about 200% between estimated and calculated torque. On the other hand, the Frequency Analysis provides an accurate estimation of both mean and instantaneous indicated torque, with a maximum difference of ±20% between estimated and calculated torque.

Full textAbstract:
Combustion supervision by evaluating flywheel speed variations is a common approach in the automotive industry. This often involves preliminary measurements. An adequate model for simulating flywheel speed can assist to avoid some of these preliminary measurements.
A physical nonlinear model for simulating flywheel speed based on cylinder pressure information is investigated in this work. Measurements were conducted at Scania in a test bed and on a chassis dynamometer. The model was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and simulations are compared to measured data. The first model can not explain all dynamics for the measurements in the test bed so extended models are examined. A model using a dynamically equivalent model of the crank-slider mechanism shows no difference from the simple model, whereas a model including a driveline can explain more from the test-bed measurements. When simulating the setups used at the chassis dynamometer, the simplest model works best. Yet, it is not very accurate and it is proposed that optimization of parameter values might improve the model further. A sensitivity analysis shows that the model is fairly robust to parameter changes.
A continuation of this work might include optimization to estimate parameter values in the model. Investigating methods for combustion supervision may also be a future issue.

New technology in the automotive industry is the key to success. Therefore, it is appreciated when people come with new design ways to solve problems. This leads to innovation in the automotive industry that will lead to better and more environmentally friendly cars. This report presents a concept on a pushing counter lever spring which provides the same characteristics of force curve as a diaphragm spring in a pressure plate of a car has. The mechanism is to be used for long-term testing and evaluating clutch pedals. The work describes the development process and the manufacture of a prototype. The program Creo (CAD / 3D) is largely used to construct the components. As are the subprograms Mechanism Design and Simulate to simulate the movement and loads. Excel is a great help at the theoretical calculation of the mechanism and to evaluate the theory behind the concept. The result shows how to simulate a diaphragm spring in the pressure plate in a car for long-term testing of clutch pedals. The goal is to accurately mimic the force curve of a diaphragm spring, in order to design better pedals, and thus reduce the weight on the pedals to in turn reduce fuel consumption to protect the environment is one of the most important factors of all in the automotive industry.

Serpin, Kevin. "Texturation anti-friction des portées cylindriques de vilebrequins." Thesis, Paris, ENSAM, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017ENAM0018/document.
Full textAbstract:
Les récentes séverisations des normes d’émission a indirectement conduit le groupe RENAULT à durcir et optimiser les spécifications appliquées aux surfaces en contact. Les portées de vilebrequins sont particulièrement concernées. A l’instar des développements produit/process liés au rodage des fûts de cylindre, il est envisagé depuis peu d’appliquer une texturation antifriction sur les tourillons et manetons. Ces portées de paliers sont actuellement superfinies par toilage, un procédé d’abrasion à la fois robuste et économique. Malheureusement, le toilage produit, en usine du moins, une unique morphologie de surface, à savoir, une striation circonférentielle intégrale. Il apparaît, en ce sens, très limité. La présente étude a pour objectif d’investiguer plus finement les capacités de texturation du toilage. Elle propose un ensemble d’analyses expérimentales visant à comprendre les limites texturales observées en production série et offre des solutions innovantes afin d’accroître très sensiblement le potentiel texturant du procédé. S’articulant autour du triptyque Procédé/Texture/Fonctionnalité, ce travail se positionne également dans une démarche globale en s’intéressant à la fois à la texturation laser, la caractérisation des surfaces texturées et à l’influence des textures sur la fonctionnalité statique et dynamique des paliers. Les résultats montrent en particulier que le procédé de toilage est capable de produire, de manière robuste, une véritable diversité de textures. Ils montrent également que la recherche de « poli miroir » pourraient être à prioriser sur les portées de vilebrequinsThe recent introduction of tougher emissions standards has indirectly led the RENAULT group to tighten up and optimize specifications applied to surfaces in contact. Crankshafts journals are particularly concerned. Like product/process developments linked to the honing of cylinder liners, there have been recent plans to apply anti-friction texturing to crankshaft journals and crank pins. These bearing surfaces are currently super-finished by belt-grinding, an abrasion procedure that is both robust and economical. Unfortunately, belt-grinding produces a unique surface morphology, in the factory at least, i.e. integral circumferential striation. In this sense it appears very limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate in more detail the texturing capacities of belt-grinding. It provides a set of experimental analyses aiming to understand the textural limits observed in the factory and offer innovative solutions to significantly improve the texturing potential of the procedure. Focusing on the three-pronged Process/Texture/Functionality approach, this work is also part of a global process by looking both at laser texturing, characterization of the textured surfaces and the influence of textures on the static and dynamic function of the bearings. The results show in particular that the belt-grinding procedure is capable of robustly producing a real diversity of textures. They also show that striving to achieve a « mirror-polish » finish may be something to prioritize for crankshafts journals

Full textAbstract:
To monitor and control the combustion in a diesel engine one can study the speed signal from the flywheel. The idea is that if individual cylinders give different amount of torque this will lead to variations in the flywheel speed. A model which describes the cylinder torque based on flywheel speed can be used to estimate the torque from individual cylinders. With this new knowledge of the individual performance of each cylinder the engine can be balanced. The balancing aim at making the speed of the flywheel more even but also required a model with estimated cylinder torque as input. This model may also be used for testing new control algorithms easily and gaining understanding of the dynamics. In this thesis a time dissolved model is constructed to describe the cylinder pressure-, crankshaft-, flywheel and damper dynamics. The model is based on a physical point of view by approximating the system into nodes containing mass, stiffness and friction. The inputs into the model are injection data from the engine management system (EMS) and a torque from a drive line. Ways to reduce the complexity of the model are investigated in order to invert the model to estimate the injection data based on flywheel speed measurements. Measurementsare done in a test bed to receive data required for model simulation and validation. The result is that the main behavior of the dynamics is caught. The self oscillation behaviors in some operating points are however not caught which indicates that the model can not explain all behaviors. A reduced model works almost as well but of course looses more of the non stiffness behavior. As expected, the model equations can not be solved in real time. The result of the inverted reduced model depends on the flywheel signal. When the signal contains little non stiffness behavior the result is good. An observer model based on the reduced model is suggested and tested in order to estimate the indicated torque from flywheel data. The observer manages to detect errors in the injection.
