In this study, a single cylinder 4 –stroke diesel engine crankshaft was taken and a static investigation will be conducted to get stress magnitude’s variation at crankshaft’s critical locations. A model will be created in SolidWorks 11.0 of the crankshaft and imported into Ansys 13.0 to carry out static analysis. The meshing of the crankshaft will be done; boundary and load conditions will be used according to the crankshaft’s mounting conditions on Finite element model of the crankshaft. Furthermore, the crankshaft is optimized with the help of the analysis results. The crankshaft is analyzed using a static analysis method. The materials considered for crankshaft are EN308. By comparing; Gopal et al. 2017 and examining the results of static analysis, three was an increase in the stress as well as deformation is less when EN308 Crankshaft is taken. Weight Optimization will be achieved by varying the crank pin diameter. Also, it is required that stress range in FE analysis does not go beyond the stress range magnitude presented in the original crankshaft.
