In the Automotive Industry, Every day new developments are going on in the Engine domain. The most crucial component of Engine is Crankshaft as it is undergone through number of forces. Due to competitive market, all the OEMs now concentrating on overall vehicle weight optimization. The main objective of this paper is to optimize the weight of crankshaft using geometry & material optimization techniques. After optimized geometry, the FEA analysis and experimental validation to perform for analysis of the stress induced in the crankshaft during static condition. In this study, the crankshaft of two-wheeler 125 Access motorbike taken for study. The FEA analysis has been performed using ANSYS. In static condition bending and twisting forces applied on the crankshaft and Von mises stress is calculated and compared with experimental result.
