Purpose The edge of diesel engine crankshaft main bearing is more likely to fail in its real working condition. This paper aims to study the bearing failure mechanism by finding the relationship between bearing lubrication characteristics and its working condition. Design/methodology/approach This work builds the mixed lubrication model of crankshaft bearing to analyze the cause of bearing abnormal wear, and the finite difference method was used to solving the average Reynolds equation. During the analysis, journal misaligned angle, external load and roughness are considered. Findings The result shows that the wear of the diesel engine crankshaft bearing happens in engine startup phase and the bottom of the bearing are more prone to be excessively worn. Under the influence of journal misalignment, bearing asperity contact load and speed range of mixed lubrication will increase markedly. The edge of the bearing will be excessively worn. The effect of misalignment on bearing lubrication performance varies under different shaft rotation speed. Originality/value The former research studies on crankshaft bearing either just focused on its lubrication characteristics or interested in its failure types (wear, adhere, cavitation). This paper studies the relationship between bearing failure mechanism and lubrication performance.

Mechanical components are subjected heavy alternate load in industries, such as engine crankshaft, wheel axle, etc. The fatigue failure happens after a long work loading, which affects the production cost, safe and time. So the fatigue life predication is fundamental for the mechanical components design. Especially, it is very important for heavy, high-speed machinery. In this paper, both main fatigue life predication formulas are introduced briefly, including Manson-Coffinn formula and Damage strain model. Then, shortages of above life predication formulas are pointed out, and coefficients are explained in detail. Further calculation error analysis is conducted on the basis of experiments on 16 materials. Results show that above life predication formulas lack calculation accuracy. Finally, it is pointed out that coefficients of fatigue life predication formulas are dependent of material performance. So it is unreliable that coefficients are constants for Manson-Coffin and Damage strain model.

Crankshaft is a key transmission part in single-cylinder diesel engine, but its mass casting production is a problem. Based on the traditional shell molding process of ductile iron castings, this study did lots of techniques optimization for the crankshaft castings of single-cylinder diesel engine. Through increasing the multi-block or a combination of chill iron at sector-plate and upper spindle neck, increasing the pressure head of blind risers and the cross section of sprue, improving the fill compaction of iron pills, and other improvements, produces qualified ductile iron crankshaft castings without or almost without the shrinkage and other casting defects.

Abstract:Based on the actual situations of diesel engines, significance of dynamic balance for marine diesel engine crankshaft system is discussed and as well vibration monitoring and field dynamic balance system for diesel engine crankshaft system is constructed. The least square method is applied to fit fundamental frequency vibration signals of crankshaft system and the field dynamic balance strategy is designed on the basis of the influence coefficient method. The feasibility of the dynamic balance system is tested through experiments in the paper.
