Fatigue analysis Definition and 16 Threads

Hi, some time ago I wondered if it's possible to calculate fatigue life (number of cycles to failure) for complex models analytically, based on static FEA results: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/fatigue-life-hand-calculations-based-on-static-fea-results.994264/ Unfortunately, it seems...

Dear guys can somebody explain, what is actually the following terms, used in fatigue analysis: 1. Mean stress correction factor 2. Plate thickness correction factor 3. Redundancy factor Thanks guys. you are the best...

Assuming that a TLP platform is examined and the wave forces acting on the tendons of the mooring lines are presented in RAOs (as a function of wave frequency). Using Jonswap spectra for North sea (i.e peakness factor equal to 3.3) we can obtain Hs (significant wave height); Tp (peak period) and...

I'm testing a part for fatigue, and I got a time series of Forces and Moments on three different parts of the body (A wind turbine hub). From the static structural fatigue analysis, I noticed that you need a von mises stress input - that's not a problem. My problem is, how do I place different...

Hey everyone I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me out here, been going round in circles for two weeks now and I need to get going soon. Jumping right to the point, here's my problem: We are currently working on a student project and designing a Wind Turbine for future opensource use...

Whether we are using Soderberg or Goodman line; it is two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system in which x-axis is the mean stress and y-axis is stress amplitude. For them to calculate we have two values one is maximum stress and other is minimum; I found on Quora.com that they are not...

Hi I was wondering how you would account for mean stress (such as using with goodman equation) using von mises with miners rule due to variable loading Thank you

Hi, I was wondering which stress values from a finite element program to use for fatigue analysis, (von mises, principal, tresca). I was leaning towards principal stresses but then would my stress range be σ11 from load case 1 (LC1) to σ11 of LC2, or would i need to do σ11-σ33 first and then...

Hello everybody , I am student in mechanical enginnering. I have to evaluate the solution Fe-Safe. i am working on two subjects: Harmonic and PSD Vibrations. The modal analysis are done in Abaqus. I would like to understand how Fe-Safe computes Life Fatigue in case of harmonic analysis. What...

Homework Statement Hey everyone, I'm trying to do this question and have no idea where to go with it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/630750/Screen%20Shot%202011-11-02%20at%2014.17.42.png Homework Equations See below. The Attempt at a Solution Here is my attempt/thinking so far...

Hi, For a fatigue analysis assignment I am working with rainflow counting and S-N curves.The given data is a plot of the stresses in a wingbox during a single flight. I have already derived the S-N curves, did the rainflow analysis and stored the (half) cycles (including the residu) in a...

Hi, I am wondering if there is any guideline and examples of design and analysis according to EN13445.

hello, im trying to do a fatigue analysis on a shaft but keep getting that it will never brake, which is impossible , because of various cases that it did after something like 3.5 years the shaft is made of Al-6061 and a divided force of 700N is working on him. the linear speed at the edge...

Hi everyone. I'm working with a project about Fatigue Analysis now. I got some questions I'm stuck with at the moment. So I'm wondering if you have any idea about them. The method people usually use to solve the fatigue problem at the moment is like this: The first six plots shows...

Part of my design project requires that I design two coaxial output shafts. I've gone through and calculated the inner shaft based on deflection and Goodman fatigue criterion. The problem now is this: the other output shaft must be a hollow shaft that shares its axis with the interior shaft. All...

I am working on a project for a company to analyse the fatigue life of a component. There is an existing component that the company manufactures and the component fails by fatigue on the average 540 days. The component is a tube made of low carbon steel of yield 260N/sqmm and ultimate of...
