Abstract

In this study, the strength and lifetime analysis of four critical components of a vehicle cardan shaft, which is already produced industrially, were carried out together with the Wöhler diagram and fatigue factors. The behavior of the shaft under dynamic force was calculated numerically, and the theoretical calculations were compared and evaluated with experimental fatigue data and field failure data. As a result of the analyzes, it was observed that the actual field data and experimental data received from the users overlapped with the theoretical life calculations. This reveals the necessity of performing reliability analysis in designs.

Kardan Şaftı Mukavemet ve Yorulma Ömür Analizi Örnek Uygulaması: 4x2 Ticari Araç Kardan Şaftı

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, endüstriyel olarak hali hazırda üretimi gerçekleştirilen bir taşıt kardan şaftının seçilen dört farklı kritik elemanının mukavemet ve ömür analizleri Wöhler diyagramı ve yorulma faktörlerinin bir arada hesabıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir Şaftın dinamik kuvvet altındaki davranışı nümerik olarak hesaplanmış, yapılan teorik hesaplamalar deneysel yorulma verileri ve saha hasar verileri ile karşılaştırılıp değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda teorik ömür hesaplamaları ile kullanıcılardan alınan gerçek saha verilerinin ve deneysel verilerin birebir örtüştüğü gözlemlenmiştir. Bu da tasarımlarda güvenirlik analizi gerçekleştirilmesinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
