Crankshaft is one of the most important components of an internal combustion engine, which converts the reciprocating motion of piston into rotary motion through the connecting rod. The current work consists of the two types of analysis. In the first part of study, strength analysis on a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine crankshaft. The best combination of parameters like Von Mises stress, deformation and weight reduction for crankshaft is carried out. In the second part of study, two materials namely structural steel and aluminum alloy are selected for analysis and comparison of these two materials properties such as Von-Mises stress, strain and total deformation were determined and results were compared. Crankshaft needs to be checked carefully to ensure that the design is fully optimized for that optimization of the crankshaft was studied and changing the geometry and shape of the existing crankshaft. In the present work CAD model of crankshaft has been designed in the AUTOCAD 2016 software and then finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out by using ANSYS 15.0 workbench software. Static analysis of crankshaft is done to find the maximum stress and deformation point.
