Fatigue Analysis on Moving Bodies
Abstract
Fatigue Analysis on Moving Bodies explores dynamic structural analysis of mechanical systems under transient conditions. It bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, offering a comprehensive guide for engineers and students alike. Beginning with fundamental concepts in Chapters 1-3, the book progresses to advanced topics such as finite element methods and fatigue failure analysis (Chapters 4-7). It culminates in Chapter 8 with detailed analyses applicable to real-world scenarios like gear trains and vehicle suspensions.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive coverage of mechanical systems under transient loads
- Mathematical derivations using Lagrange's equations and energy formulations
- Application of finite element methods in dynamic analysis
- In-depth exploration of fatigue failure mechanisms and analysis techniques
