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)[reply]
