Design & Analysis of Engine Mount Bracket by Varying Weld Bead Size

Fatigue damage assessment is very important in design process of component to determine their durability under service loading conditions. In service, the great majority of structures and components are subjected to stress of variable amplitude loading. The purpose of this project is to analyses statistically deformation, strain & stress concentration factors during cyclic loading and compare their effect on fatigue damage of the engine mount bracket. Meanwhile, damage of the engine mount bracket was evaluated using finite element commercial software. From the analysis, we had observed that the fatigue damage Increases with the respective statistical values of the boundary condition and also it can reduce with increase in the weld bead to achieve more strength
