Fatigue and Durability Analysis of Automotive Components
Abstract
Fatigue damage is one of the main modes of structural failure in automobiles. Simulation can help to accurately predict the fatigue life of the vehicle and optimize structures to extend vehicle life while reducing the need for physical prototyping. In addition, certain types of fatigue, such as thermomechanical and elastoplastic fatigue, involve a number of different physics phenomena. Multiphysics simulation allows for coupling structural analysis and fatigue with heat transfer, acoustics, and electromagnetics to accurately model such phenomena.
