PRINCIPLE OF SLIDER CRANK MECHANISM Positions at which slider motion reverses are called dead centers. When crank and connecting rod are extended in a straight line and the slider is at its maximum distance from the axis of the crankshaft , the position is top dead center ( TDC ); when the slider is at its minimum distance from the axis of the crankshaft, the position is bottom dead center ( BDC ). The conventional internal combustion engine employs a piston arrangement in which the piston becomes the slider of the slider-crank mechanism. Radial engines for aircraft employ a single master connecting rod to reduce the length of the crankshaft. The master rod, which is connected to the wrist pin in a piston, is part of a conventional slider-crank mechanism. The other pistons are joined by their connecting rods to pins on the master connecting rod.
TERMINOLOGY
1) LINKAGE A set of rigid bodies, called links, joined together at pivots by means of pins or equivalent devices. Linkages are used to transmit power and information. They may be employed to make a point on the linkage follow a prescribed curve, regardless of the input motions to the linkage. They are also used to produce angular or linear displacement. If the links are bars the linkage is termed a bar linkage. A commonly occurring variation of the four-bar linkage is the linkage used in reciprocating engines (see illustration). Slider C is the piston in a cylinder, link 3 is the connecting rod, and link 4 is the crank. (Link 1 is the fixed base, A and D are pivots, R is the length of the crank, L is the length of the connecting rod, and τ denotes the angle of the crank.) This mechanism transforms a linear into a circular motion, or vice versa. The straight slider in line with the crank center is equivalent to a pivot at the end of an infinitely long link.
2) CRANK ANGLE : The angle between a crank and some reference direction. Specifically, the angle between the crank of a slider crank mechanism and a line from crankshaft to the piston. 3 ) CONNECTING ROD : A rod that transmits motion or power from one moving part to another, especially the rod connecting the crankshaft of a motor vehicle to a piston. Also called pitman . 4) CRANK SHIFT GEOMETRY AND KINEMATICS Definitions l = rod length (distance between piston pin and crank pin) r = crank radius (distance between crank pin and crank center, i.e. half stroke) A = crank angle (from cylinder bore centerline at TDC) x = piston pin position (upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline) v = piston pin velocity (upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline) a = piston pin acceleration (upward from crank center along cylinder bore centerline) ω = crank angular velocity in rad/s

Fracture initiated in a segregated region near the neutral bending axis of pin and produced a woody fracture plane perpendicular to the direction of imposed piston loading. This woody fracture existed prior to machining and induction hardening. The woody fracture location, orientation, and size are similar in both crankshafts. 2.The large woody fracture region was produced by stresses that acted in a cross planar direction as evidenced by the orientation of secondary cracking. 3.The woody fracture pre-existed final machining and heat treatment, as evidenced by the disruption of tool withdrawal markings in the oil hole on crank. (A similar determination was not possible on crank because the material containing the oil hole and woody fracture intersection was not available.) 4. Regions of segregated material, including MnS inclusions and higher carbon, tempered marten site bands, Existed throughout the crankshaft with some segregated areas extending to or near the journal surface. 5. Cracking continued from the edges of the woody fracture plane through the hardened case to the journal surface in service by low cycle fatigue.
CONCLUSION •We conclude that crank mechanism is much important in all types of engines especially in ic engines, and reciprocating engines. •Proper design is carried out rather failure will occur •Material is used according to the kind of load. For high duty high carbon steel is used and for low duty cast iron is used. •Proper adjustment is carried to between the piston and cylinder side wall in order to avoid striking, and for long life of machine. •Size of crank is taken according to the desired rpm, and size of connecting rod is taken according to the crank.
