A Fatigue Life Analysis Method Based on Nominal Stress Method and MSC.FATIGUE Software

Abstract:

The paper is based on nominal stress method and MSC.FATIGUE software, adopts virtual fatigue design method, take cart balance beam of quayside container crane as an example, build its finite element model, conduct strength analysis on the balance beam and fatigue analysis under specified load course by MSC.Fatigue software, then obtain life distributions which can provide the basis of nichetargeting improvement and fatigue research in design stage. Through above analysis, it has been proved the feasibility of the method that the paper adopted, and it can greatly reduce the expense that the fatigue life testing brings about.
