Crankshaft system mainly consists of piston, piston pin, con- necting rod, crankshaft, torsional vibration (TV) damper and fly- wheel. Counterweights are placed on the opposite side of each crank to balance rotating inertia forces. In general, counterweights are designed for balancing rates between 50% and 100%. For acceptable maximum and average main bearing loads, mass of counterweights and their positions are important. Maximum and average main bearing loads of an engine depend on cylinder pres- sure, counterweight mass, engine speed and other geometric study on effect of counterweight configuration on main bearing loads and crankshaft stresses is still needed. In this study, counterweight positions and masses of an in-line six-cylinder diesel engine crankshaft system are studied. Maxi- mum and average main bearing forces and crankshaft bending stresses are calculated for 12-counterweight configurations with a zero degree counterweight angle, and for eight-counterweight configurations with 30C176 counterweight angle for 0%, 50% and 100% counterweight balancing rates. Analyses are carried out using Multibody System Simulation Program, ADAMS/Engine. Simula- 1.

Stanley and Taraza 11 obtained maximum and average main bearing loads of four and six-cylinder symmetric in-line engines using a rigid crankshaft model and estimated ideal counterweight mass that resulted in acceptable maximum bearing load. Rigid crankshaft models that are used in counterweight analyses do not consider the effect of crankshaft flexibility on main bearing loads and can lead to considerable errors. Therefore, an extensive Crankshaft models Balancing rate Both configurations show the same trend.

The balanc- ing system data for the crank train are given in Table 3. 3. Modeling of crankshaft system Using ADAMS/Engine, a crankshaft can be modeled in four dif- ferent ways: rigid crankshaft, torsionalflexible crankshaft, beam crankshaft and 3D solid crankshaft. Rigid crankshaft model is mainly used to obtain free forces and torques, and for balancing purposes. Torsionalflexible crankshaft model is used to investi- gate torsional vibrations where each throw is modeled as one rigid part, and springs are used between each throw to represent tor- sional stiffness. Beam crankshaft model is used to represent the torsional and bending stiffness of the crankshaft. Using beam mod- el bending stresses at the webs can be calculated 12.

The procedure is lengthy and time consuming and usually one ends up with degrees of free- dom in order of millions. To simplify the finite element model, modal superposition technique is used. The elastic deformation of the structure is approximated by linear combination of suitable modes which can be shown as follows: u Uq 1 where q is the vector of modal coordinates andUis the shape func- tion matrix.

Yilmaz, G. Anlas/Advances in Engineering An elastic body contains two types of nodes, interface nodes where forces and boundary conditions interact with the structure during multibody system simulation (MSS), and interior nodes. In MSS the position of the elastic body is computed by superposing its rigid body motion and elastic deformation. In ADAMS, this is performed using Component Mode Synthesis” technique based on CraigBampton method 13,14. The component modes contain static and dynamic behavior of the structure. These modes are con- straint modes which are static deformation shapes obtained by giving a unit displacement to each interface degree of freedom (DOF) while keeping all other interface DOFs fixed, and fixed boundary normal modes which are the solution of eigenvalue problem by fixing the entire interface DOFs. The modal transforma- tion between the physical DOF and the CraigBampton modes and their modal coordinates is described by 15 u u B u I C26C27 I0 U C U N C20C21 q C q N C26C27 2 where u B and u I are column vectors and represent boundary DOF and interior DOF, respectively. I, 0 are identity and zero matrices, respectively. U C is the matrix of physical displacements of the inte- rior DOF in the constraint modes. U N is the matrix of physical dis- Fig. 3. Model of the crankshaft system. placements of the interior DOF in the normal modes. q C is the column vector of modal coordinates of the constraint modes. q N is the column vector of modal coordinates of the fixed boundary nor- mal modes. To obtain decoupled set of modes, constrained modes and normal modes are orthogonalized. Elastic 3D solid crankshaft model of the 9.0 L engine is obtained in MSC.Nastran using modal superposition technique. First, 3D so- lid model of the crankshaft that is shown in Fig. 1 is exported to MSC.Nastran and finite element model of the crankshaft, which is characterized by approximately 300,000 ten-node tetrahedral ele- ments and 500,000 nodes is obtained. The modal model of the crankshaft is developed with 32 boundary DOFs associated with 16 interface nodes. Constrained modes obtained from static analy- sis correspond to these DOFs. Flexible crankshaft model is obtained through modal synthesis considering the first 40 fixed boundary normal modes. Therefore flexible crankshaft model is character- ized by a total of 72 DOFs. This model is exported to ADAMS/En- gine and crankshaft system model that is shown in Fig. 3 is obtained. 3D finite element model is run with ADAMS. 4. Forces acting on crankshaft system and balancing Forces in an internal combustion engine may be divided into inertia forces and pressure forces. Inertia forces are further divided into two main categories: rotating inertia forces and reciprocating inertia forces. The rotating inertia force for each cylinder can be written as shown below: F iR;j m R C1 r R C1 x 2 C1C0sinh j j cosh j k3 where m R is the rotating mass that consists of the mass of crank pin, crank webs and mass of rotating portion of the connecting rod; r R is the distance from the crankshaft centre of rotation to the centre of gravity of the rotating mass, x is angular velocity of the crankshaft, and h j is the angular position of each crank throw with respect to Top Dead Centre” (TDC). If there are two counterweights per crank throw, each counterweight force is given by 11 F CWi;j C0m CWi;j C1 r CWi;j C1 x 2 C1C0sinh j c i;j j cosh j c i;j k hi ; i 1;2 j 1;2;.;6 4 where c i,j is the offset angle of counterweight mass from 180C176 oppo- site of crank throw j”. There are two counterweights per throw. i” denotes the counterweight number. The counterweight size that is required to accomplish an assessed balancing rate is U CW K C1U Crank throw m cr-r C1 rC1cosc 2 5 where U CW is the static unbalance of each counterweight, U Crank_throw is the static unbalance of each crank throw, m cr-r is the mass of connecting rod rotating portion, r is the crank radius and K is the balancing rate of the internal couple due to rotating forces. From this formula follows the balancing rate for a given crankshaft and a given counterweight size: K 2 C1 U CW U Crank throw m cr-r C1 rC1cosc 6 For a standard in-line six-cylinder engine crankshaft with three pairs of crank throws disposed at angles of 120C176 that are arranged symmetrical to the crankshaft centre, rotating forces, and first and second order reciprocating forces are naturally balanced. This can be explained by the first and second order vector stars shown in Fig. 4. The six-cylinder crankshaft generates rotating and first Software 40 (2009) 95104 97 and second order reciprocating couples in each crankshaft half that balance each other but which result in internal bending moment. At high speeds, the two equally directed crank throws, 3 and 4 yield a high rotating load on centre main bearing. The rotating inertia force of each cylinder is usually offset at least partially by counterweights placed on the opposite side of each crank. In gen- eral, the counterweights are designed for balancing rates between 50% and 100% of the internal couple. Gas forces in cylinders are acting on piston head, cylinder head and on side walls of the cylinder.

The gas forces are transmit- ted to the crankshaft through the piston and connecting rod. Cylin- der pressure curves for the 9.0 L engine studied under full load at different engine speeds are given in Fig. 5. Pressure curves are ob- tained using AVL/Boost engine cycle calculation program which simulates thermodynamic processes in the engine taking into ac- count one dimensional gas dynamics in the intake and exhaust sys- tems 16. 5. Main bearing loads: comparison of crankshaft models Main bearing loads are calculated using ADAMSs rigid, beam and 3D solid crankshaft models and compared. In the rigid model, no vibration effects are considered which can lead to considerable errors if vibration effects have a major role on the system (like in multithrow crankshafts). To consider vibration effects beam crank- shaft model is used and main bearing loads and bending stresses at webs are calculated. Rigid model assumes crankshaft to be stati- cally determinate and reaction force of any given bearing depends on the load exerted on the throws adjacent to that bearing. Beam model assumes the crankshaft to be statically indeterminate and the load exerted on a throw affects all bearings. Analyses are car- ried out at an engine speed range of 10002000 rpm. A more sophisticated 3D solid hybrid model that combines FE with ADAMS is used to check the results obtained by beam model.

Rigid crankshaft model overestimates the maximum main bearing load at bearings 1 and 7 with respect to beam and flexible crankshaft models. However it underestimates the maximum main bearing load at other bearings. For example at bearing 2, beam model gives a maximum main bearing load that is 50% more than that of rigid models because the beam model as- sumes the crankshaft to be statically indeterminate and considers Bearing #1 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 Crank Angular Velocity (rpm) 0 5 10 15 20 Average Bearing K=0% K=50% K=100% Force (kN) bearing #1 for 12-counterweight configurations.

Maximum main bearing load difference of beam and 3D solid models is approximately 5%. Main bearing loads for beam and 3D solid crankshaft models are generally in good agreement. In bearings 3, 5 and 6, 3D solid model gives larger bear- ing loads at firing positions of the cylinders that are not adjacent to bearing. Because obtaining elastic 3D solid models for different counterweight configurations is difficult and time consuming, and beam model gives equally valid results, beam model is used Bearing #3 100 110 120 130 140 K=0% K=50% K=100% Bearing #3 20 25 30 35 40 K=0% K=50% K=100% Maximum Bearing Force (kN) 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 Crank Angular Velocity (rpm) 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 Crank Angular Velocity (rpm) Average Bearing Force (kN) Fig. 15.
