Abstract
The boundary element (BE) technique was used to analyse nine widely different shapes to investigate the effects of crankweb shape on the peak stresses in the crankpin/web and journal/web fillets and on the crankshaft. Under radial three-point bending, pure radial bending and torsion, increasing the web thickness or increasing the overlap reduces the peak fillet stresses and stiffens the crankshaft. Empirical equations are presented for the maximum stresses in both types of bending, torsion, web spread and twist.
