Does anyone know where one would start to calculating the loads on a crank shaft during snap rolls?
I have the cad file and material type of a radial engine crank shaft I would like to know just what its limits would be and if it would handle a life of regular snap rolls.
I imagine the aircraft weight and propeller weight and diameter would form part of these calcs.
I have access to some engineers with solid works that could go modeling but I would need to tell them the kind of parameters to set.
I’m not even sure it’s something that can be done, just throwing it out there to see what the knowledge base comes back with.
Cheers for reading
