Fatigue Crack Development

Abstract Failures of marine diesel engine components can lead to serious consequences for a vessel, cargo and the people on board a ship. These consequences can be financial losses, delay in delivery time or a threat to safety of the people on board. This is why it is necessary to learn about connecting rod bolt failures in order to prevent worst-case scenarios. This paper aims at determining the origin, velocity and the duration of fatigue crack development of a diesel alternator engine which suffered a significant failure of one of its mains, not long after a major overhaul had been completed and with less than 1000 running hours having elapsed. It was verified with fatigue rupture of one of the four connecting rod stud bolts. Tensile tests were performed in the remaining connecting rod bolts. During this procedure, another fatigue crack in an adjacent bolt was identified. The probable root case of damage, and at the end some final remarks are presented.

Transition Location

In this paper, with the ANSYS, stress distribution and safety factor of marine diesel engine connecting rod were analyzed by using 3D finite element method. The results show that the position of maximum principal stress is transition location of small end and connecting rod shank at maximum stretch condition. The value of stress is 24.69 MPa in dangerous position. The position of maximum principal stress is transition location of small end and connecting rod shank at maximum stretch condition. The value of stress is 198.65 MPa in dangerous position. Safety factor is 2.51.

Assembly Technology

This paper takes the high-power low-speed marine diesel engine as an object to carry out a series of technical researches. These technologies include the assembly and the precision adjustment on the components of the piston, the crosshead and the connecting rod, and the assembly and the timing adjustment on the fuel and exhaust system, the assembly and the precision adjustment on the crankshaft and the engine base. The test technology and system of the high-power marine diesel engine are studied. The new method to determine the assembly quality of the piston and crosshead based on the strain measurement for the small end of the connecting rod and the oil film thickness measurement for the crosshead and the supporting plate is proposed. The stress measuring system for the engine body is built. The engine body’s deformation before and after the crankshaft assembly and the bearing block’s deformation during the crankshaft movement are analyzed to evaluate the stress situation of the crankshaft after the installation. Therefore the assembly technology for the low-speed high-power diesel engine is improved to ensure the reliability of the diesel engine work.
