ABSTRACT

Fatigue damage assessment is very important in design process of the 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 strain & stress concentration factors from road loading and compare their effect on fatigue damage of the engine mount bracket. Meanwhile, damage of the engine mount bracket will be evaluated using finite element commercial software. From the analysis, we will observe that the fatigue damage increment with the respective statistical values of the boundary condition & also by varying throat thickness of the weald bead of the bracket to reduce other machining operations.
