There are many studies to extend the distance traveled by electric vehicles. However, much research has been done to increase the capacity of the battery. In this study, some engines for power generation, in which a battery is charged with energy by mounting a small internal combustion engine in which an engine is mounted in an electric vehicle and the battery is charged with energy, are being studied. Therefore, since such an engine is operated at a high load, the camshaft and the camshaft are emphasized to have high load strength and durability to withstand fatigue.
This study is on the structural analysis and fatigue evaluation of Re-EV engine cam shaft used to drving range extended electric vehicle. Recently, Electric vehicle is very important for driving extended. Specially this study is upgrade of cam shaft to improve durability and fatigue life.
