Identifying and Studying Various Approaches for Analysis of Crankcase: A state-of-the-art Review

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to critically review various papers related to analysis of crankcase and study the different approaches. The paper critically examines 7 different papers related to analysis of crankcase. The study is aimed at identifying the methodology of crankcase analysis. This feat has never been attempted, owing to unavailability of adequate research material.The review of various papers revealed the techniques adopted in modelling and analyzing the crankcase under static, dynamic, fatigue and material conditions. This research is just the comparison of different model used for analysis. The paper provides an insight for active researchers in the field of engine design. Crankcase being the most critical component for the engine, its failure at any moment is unacceptable and needs to be detected and attended at an early stage. The review will thus help to devise the design process cycle.
