Abstract:

The camshaft is a crucial element in internal combustion engines, working alongside the crankshaft to convert its rotation into the necessary reciprocating motion for opening and closing engine valves. This action controls the fuel flow into the combustion chamber. Material selection and design significantly affect the camshaft's efficiency. Enhancing the engine's effectiveness involves a meticulous choice of camshaft materials, which can be analyzed through finite element analysis. This study aims to assess various commonly used materials in camshaft production. The primary focus is on evaluating the equivalent stress, strain, and total deformation across different materials across different materials. The appropriate material for the camshaft is identified after comparison.
