Abstract: This paper presents measured and predicted data for a representative 8-cylinder crankshaft. The shaft was supported in a lest stand at several main journals and subjected to a measured misaligning load at another main journal. Bending deflections, web deflections, and nominal stresses in crankpin, web, and main journal were measured. Data showing variation with crank angle of measured quantities for two different support/ load conditions is presented. Corresponding predictions of a finite element model of the shaft are compared with the measurements, Favorable agreement is obtained, although there is a tendency for stress predictions to be conservative (high).
