The static simulation is conducted on a crankshaft from a single cylinder 4- stroke diesel engine. A three-dimension model of diesel engine crankshaft is created using CATIA V5 software Static structural analysis is performed to obtain the stress magnitude at critic allocations of crankshaft in. The static analysis is done using Software ANSYS 2021R1 which resulted in the stresses, deformation and elastic strain. Boundary conditions are applied at bearings.Crankshafts find many applications in various branches of engineering. They are used whenever there is the need to translate reciprocating linear motion into rotation or vice-versa.In their more varied configurations, crankshafts are usually used in internal combustion engines but also in piston steam engines. It lays on the former the vaster and varied range of applications of crankshafts. The internal combustion engines cover various fields of uses, from small scale model planes to large maritime engines.
