In this paper, stress of a diesel connecting rod (CR) is analyzed by the perturbation stochastic finite element method (PSFEM). A fatigue failure criterion of a diesel CR is also put forward with Corten-Dolan fatigue cumulative damage theory. Based on fatigue failure criterion and the results of stochastic stress analysis, the advanced first order second moment (AFOSM) method is used for fatigue strength reliability analysis. It is shown that PSFEM is efficient and accurate in stochastic stress analysis by comparing with Monte-Carlo simulation. The analysis shows that the reliability of a certain type of diesel CR is 0.99917, which coincides with the statistical data from the factory. It is also found that operating parameters such as combustion peak pressure and engine rotary speed have the greatest influence on CR reliability because of the large variances and high stress response sensitivity.

Fatigue Limit State

In this paper, a reliability analysis of a Mono-tower platform is presented. The failure modes considered are yielding in the tube cross sections and fatigue failure in the butt welds. The fatigue failure mode is investigated with a fatigue model, where the fatigue strength is expressed through SN relations. In determining the cumulative fatigue damage, Palmgren-Miner’s rule is applied. Element reliability, as well as systems reliability, is estimated using first-order reliability methods (FORM). The sensitivity of the systems reliability to various parameters is investigated. It is shown that the fatigue limit state is a significant failure mode for the Mono-tower platform. Further, it is shown for the fatigue failure mode that the largest contributions to the overall uncertainty are due to the damping ratio, the inertia coefficient, the stress concentration factor, the model uncertainties, and the parameters describing the fatigue strength.

The Relationship

For the fatigue failure mode of turbine of turbocharger for vehicle application, the method for fatigue reliability analysis and fatigue life prediction of turbine is studied based on the endurance test profile of engine. Firstly, the critical location of turbocharger turbine with fatigue failure mode is determined. Then, the fatigue stress process of turbine is calculated according to the main operating modes consisted of the endurance test profile of engine. The fatigue strength of critical location of turbine with fatigue failure mode is studied through the fatigue test of imitation specimen, and the relationship between the fatigue life of turbine and stress is developed. Further, according to the endurance test profile of engine, the reliability model of turbine with fatigue failure mode is developed, and the rule that the reliability of turbine with fatigue failure mode changes as the cycle number of endurance test of engine is studied. Finally, the method for determining the reliable fatigue life of turbine is proposed.

Variable Problem

This paper presents an efficient methodology to solve a fatigue reliability problem. The fatigue failure mechanism and its reliability assessment must be treated as a rate process since, in general, the capacity of the component and material itself changes irreversibly with time. However, when fatigue life is predicted using the S-N curve and a damage summation scheme, the time dependent stress can be represented as several time-independent stress levels using the cycle counting approach. Since, in each counted stress cycle, the stress amplitude is constant, it becomes a random variable problem. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology and algorithm to solve this converted random variable problem by combining the accumulated damage analysis with the first-order reliability analysis (FORM) to evaluate fatigue reliability. This task was tackled by determining a reliability factor using an inverse reliability analysis. The theoretical background and algorithm for the proposed approach to reliability analysis will be introduced based on fatigue failure modes of mechanical components. This paper will draw on an exploration of the ability to predict spectral fatigue life and to assess the corresponding reliability under a given dynamic environment. Next, the process for carrying out this integrated method of analysis will be explained. Use of the proposed methodology will allow for the prediction of mechanical component fatigue reliability according to different mission requirements.
