The study analyzes the crankshaft of a single cylinder four-stroke engine using ANSYS software to determine the optimal material from structural steel, aluminum alloy, and nickel chromium molybdenum steel. Findings indicate that the aluminum alloy demonstrates the highest strength with a von-Mises stress of 146.28 MPa, making it the best material for the crankshaft, while structural steel and nickel chromium molybdenum steel combinations also exhibit favorable results. This research highlights the importance of material selection in crankshaft design to ensure safety and reliability in engine performance.
