what about the axial loads and the bearing pressure acting on shafts. i think the bearing load can be neglected.
Design Stresses[edit]
I added the unreferenced tag to this section as I am skeptical that such generic values exist and I think that it is irresponsible to publish such figures without citation. In general engineering practice, design stresses are determined for specific applications based on multiple factors. For example:
If crankshaft "A" is:
- made from a mild steel such as 070M20
- manufactured through a process of casting followed by finish machining
- used in a diesel engine for a heavy goods vehicle
And crankshaft "B" is:
- made from an alloy steel such as 722M24
- manufactured through a process of forging followed by finish machining
- used in a motorsport application
Then crankshaft "A" will typically have much lower design stresses than crankshaft "B".
Apologies if I have made any faux pas while conducting my edit and making this comment, this is my first attempt at contributing to Wikipedia. 2A00:23C7:1A09:DA00:EC9C:4D48:1254:7965 (talk) 12:41, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
