Automobile Camshaft Structural Analysis for Various Material and Modified Design

摘要

The purpose of this research was to find the most suitable material for manufacturing camshaft for modified design. There are various factors that lead to a camshaft failure like material properties, vibration, contact fatigue etc. In this research structural analysis of camshaft was done in ANSYS for three different materials and results for both standard camshaft model and modified camshaft model was obtained and compared. ANSYS results for total deformation, maximum stress, maximum strain and factor of safety are considered..
