Analysis of Crankshaft Fatigue Strength Based on Integrated Finite Element Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aiming at the complex mechanical systems for the prediction of the fatigue limit load requirements, this paper examines the relationship among finite element analysis model and the performance models. And a finite element modeling method for fatigue analysis is proposed. The finite element model can support static, modal, fatigue, and multi-body dynamic response analysis in parallel and collaboration. This method helps improve the fatigue limit load analysis.
