The focus of this study is to find fatigue behavior and fatigue life of a drag link in the different road and loading conditions. Finite element method was used for fatigue analysis and fatigue life of the drag link was predicted. Firstly, the historical changes in the concept of the fatigue and fatigue life calculation methods were explained in the chapter one and two. Factor affecting the fatigue performance was explained. Stress and strain based fatigue analysis methods were described clearly. Finally, fatigue life analysis in the frequency domain which is a new method relative to the others was explained. Then, two different steering drag links of a midibus were examined and fatigue life calculations of these two drag links were made. The fatigue life analysis in the time domain of the drag links were made in the static steering conditions and the results were compared with the test results made by the vendor of the drag links. After that, the drag link which has a greater fatigue life than the other was selected, the road loads were taken from another test report which was made by using the same drag link and the fatigue life of the drag link was computed by using the finite element method in the time domain. Finally, the same road loads were converted in the frequency domain and the fatigue life analysis of the same drag link were made in the frequency domain. The results from the time domain and the frequency domain were compared and the advantages of the fatigue life analysis in the frequency domain were expressed.

Ro - Ro Ferry is equipped with a connecting door between the port and the ship. The ramp door experiences load during loading and discharging of the rolling cargo. This repetitive load may cause fatigue failure. The structure of the ramp door should withstand this load. Therefore, The ramp door should be properly designed to ensure the structural integrity of the ramp door. The purpose of this research is to analyze the maximum stress and the Fatigue life of the bow ramp door. The method used is the finite element method. The given loads are several types of vehicles that are commonly transported by the ship. The given load case is the point load working at the girder plate and between the girder plate. Based on the simulation results with the given point load, the maximum stress is identified located between the girder for the large truck case with 397.02 MPa, while the minimum stress located at the girder for sedan car with 43.93 MPa. As for the fatigue life of the bow ramp door construction. it is 1.17 ~ 398.64 years, and the load cycle is 5.35 x 104 ~ 9.05 x 106 cycle.

This study presents a fatigue life prediction based on finite element analysis under non constant amplitude proportional loading. Parabolic spring is the vital component in a vehicle suspension system, commonly used in trucks. It needs to have excellent fatigue life and recently, manufacturers rely on constant loading fatigue data. The objective of this study is to simulate the non constant amplitude proportional loading for the fatigue life analysis. The finite element method (FEM) was performed on the spring model to observe the distribution of stress and damage. The fatigue life simulation was performed and analyzed for materials AISI6150, SAE1045-595-QT. when using the loading sequences is predominantly tensile in the nature; the life of mounting in Goodman approach is more conservative. When the loading is predominantly tensile in nature, the life of the component in Morrow approach is more sensitive and is therefore recommended. It can be concluded that material SAE 1045-595-QT gives constantly higher life than material AISI6150for all loading conditions under both methods.

Cold expansion technology is an extended method used in aeronautics to increase fatigue life of holes and hence extending inspection intervals. During the cold expansion process, a mechanical mandrel is forced to pass along the hole generating compressive residual hoop stresses. The most widely accepted geometry for this mandrel is the tapered one and simpler options like balls have generally been rejected based on the non-conforming residual hoop stresses derived from their use. In this investigation a novelty process using multiple balls with incremental interference, instead of a single one, was simulated. Experimental tests were performed to validate the finite element method (FEM) models and residual hoop stresses from multiple balls simulation were compared with one ball and tapered mandrel simulations. Results showed that the use of three incremental balls significantly reduced the magnitude of non-conforming residual hoop stresses and the extension of these detrimental zone.
