RESEARCH OF THE PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE CRANKSHAFT FAILURE ON THE BASIS OF THE ANALYSIS OF STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF THE HARDENED ZONE
The paper presents the results of the analysis and systematization of the reasons of modern cars crankshafts failures. The scheme of the physical metallurgy complex application is shown for crankshafts investigation. The example is discussed of some causes of the crankshaft destruction examination on the basis of the hardened zone structure specifics analysis and of the characteristics of their stress-strain state.
