Design and Analysis of Camshaft

Below expressed paper presents modeling, fatigue analysis and static structural analysis of engine camshaft. The camshaft is one in every one of the vital components among the engines of the automobile and different vehicles. Camshafts revolve at higher speeds which will result in the generation of vibrations in the member. In the camshafts, as there is direct contact between cam and the plunger, a varying contact fatigue load generates. Because of these variations, it will result in vibration and fatigue failures across the shaft. Hence, fatigue analysis must be allotted on the camshafts to substantiate the safety and to figure out the lifetime of the member. During this thesis, for conducting an analysis of stresses, loads & failures a finite element process employed. The ANSYS software then induced to determine the theoretical values of stresses & loads to which camshaft member is subjected. The overall outcome of this thesis is to design & specify camshaft theoretically, Analysing all stress, calculating theoretical stress values & comparing it with actual once. Among the present work, we have a tendency to square measure designed Automobile camshaft by Numerical Calculations thenceforth it's Designed by victimization Modelling software package CATIA and CAE(Structural) Analysis is assigned in ANSYS-WORKBENCH.
