Example 27 evaluates the substructure of a construction machine in terms of fatigue strength. The welds are particularly important since they are generally the weak points of a design. After using the so-called Hot-Spot method to quickly identify the most stressed welds, a weld is calculated more accurately using the more precise structural stress concept.

Example 7 demonstrates, using a practical real-world example, how actual load-time functions can be used for fatigue life calculations under multiaxial loading based on measured load spectra.

 

Example 20 shows how container projects can be used to automatically generate numerous load variants from a single project. Learn how overall load spectra and operating factors can be determined efficiently from these variants.

Example 1 provides an introduction to the winLIFE software for fatigue life calculation. It shows how the nominal stress in a shaft is evaluated with regard to material fatigue.
The video demonstrates the basic functions of winLIFE.

 

Example 15: The video demonstrates the application of the R1 concept for weld seam analysis using the winLIFE software. The R1 concept, which is included in many guidelines (FKM guideline, IIW), uses radii of 1 mm at the weld seam transitions and evaluates the stresses at these radii.

 

Example 25 introduces the winLIFE viewer and its basic functions. It demonstrates how to import finite element results from well-known FE solvers. It also shows the graphical representation of three-dimensional models with stress and damage results.

New Video on the FKM Guideline - Example 46

The example from the FKM guideline Nonlinear ‘2.7.1 Academic Example’ is recalculated using the winLIFE software.
The fatigue strength verification is demonstrated using the damage parameter P_RAM.
The results report in winLIFE shows the calculation steps for this verification in detail.
