Abstract The Dynamometer is a LOAD device. It applies

a load to an engine so we can test the performance of the

engine under a variety of circumstances. System operateswhere load (dyno) torque equals that of the Engine. By

varying the engine throttle and load we can test any point

under the engines max torque curve. We design and

modify engines for improved fuel economy and emissions

We need DATA to quantify the improvements in Fuel

savings and Emissions reductions. This data will be used to

help us tune in our design.

The Dynamometer is operated at 1000 rpm to generate the

necessary inertia. For different kind of conditions, there is

need of having variable inertia. So the dynamometer is

constructed with removable flywheel.

I. INTRODUCTION

The Dynamometer is a LOAD device. It applies a

load to an engine so we can test the performance of the

engine under a variety of circumstances. System

operates where load (dyno) torque equals that of the

Engine. By varying the engine throttle and load we can

test any point under the engines max torque curve. We

design and modify engines for improved fuel economy

and emissions. We need DATA to quantify theimprovements in Fuel savings and Emissions reductions.

This data will be used to help us tune in our design.

The Dynamometer is operated at 1000 rpm to

generate the necessary inertia. For different kind of

conditions, there is need of having variable inertia. So

the dynamometer is constructed with removableflywheel

III. MODAL ANALYSISOFDYNAMOMETER

Operating Frequency of Dynamometer

Rotating Speed (N) = 1000 rpm.

Angular Velocity () = 2N/60

= 2 x x 1000/60

= 104.71 rad/s

Operating Frequency = / 2

= 104.71 / 2

= 16.66 Hz

Natural Frequency of Dynamometer

The product is been solved in ANSYS to find theNatural Frequency upto first three natural modes.

Assumption

1. The Fixed, Removable Flywheel & Shaft is

perfectly balanced.

2. This Analysis will consider the centrifugal forces

developed due to high speed.

IV. RESULTS

V. CONCLUSION

The result of Static Analysis for shaft, PedestalBearing & Base frame confirms the safety &

overall rigidity of dynamometer assembly.

The Modal Analysis confirms the safety of product

to operate at 1000 rpm speed, as the operating

frequency doesnt meet to natural frequency.

The dynamic analysis confirms the strength

validation of the product. The average induced

stress is lower than the yield strength of material,the product is safe.

VI. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

I wish to express my sincere thanks to

Prof.S.V.Bhaskar for their technical support and helpful

attitude gave us high moral support .

I am also thankful to Prof. A.G.Thakur (P.G.Co-

ordinator & HOD of Mechanical Department) who had

been a source of inspiration.

Finally, I specially wish to thank my father &

Mother, wife kirti and sweet daughter Sanskriti and all

those who gave me valuable inputs directly or

indirectly.
