A simulation method to predict the reliability of clamped metal contacts under cyclic loading
is presented. The main idea is to predict the development of contact condition of a joint by …

The finite element simulation of a cylinder head has been carried out with Abaqus Standard
using Z-mat material model, with thermal boundary conditions coming from combined …

S‐N curve parameter determination is a time‐and cost‐intensive procedure. A standardized
method for simultaneously determining all S‐N curve parameters with minimum testing effort …

We discuss a methodology for systematically using an Simulation Process and Data
Management (SPDM) platform in product development. The purpose of this paper is to get …

Professor Y. Murakami has been a dominant figure in the field of fatigue, pinpointing the
most important things for research. However, in order to further improve the prediction …

This article describes the overview of crankshaft analysis of a medium speed diesel engine.
Crankshaft analysis includes static analysis, crankshaft dynamics, bearing analysis, gear …

A novel approach for inferring the underlying non-metallic inclusion distribution from fatigue
test fractography is presented. It is shown that the non-metallic inclusion size distribution …

A detailed contact analysis of a large connecting rod was performed to evaluate the fretting
risk in the big end. Simulation was carried out in Abaqus considering all relevant boundary …

ONERA fatigue model identification has been carried out for the nodular cast iron material.
Selected fatigue model considers mean stress effect, temperature dependency, multiaxiality …

This paper opens up the history of structural analysis and dynamics simulations of Wärtsilä
engines. It cites already published articles and theses with some backgrounds information. It …
