Abstract: In this study, a simulation is conducted to determine the stress distribution near the contact surface of the bolted joints and its interactions by Solidwork and ANSYS workbench as fretting fatigue is frequently being described as the main reason for bolts’ failure. The simulation result is compared with well published works, and it showed a strong in agreement. The bolt holes are is the most critical part and likely to fail rapidly during the time cycle compared to other parts.
Keywords: Fatigue Simulation, FEM.
Scope of the Article: Predictive Analysis
