hi to everyone, I'm pressing that I have to coordinate a project but that I'm not exactly the engineer that typically deals with fem.
I ask you if you can give me information about a problem that maybe for many of you is already known.
I have to verify an aluminum die casting that must be mounted in a group and resist a max load of 200kg.
die-casting has a life cycle of 100k loads, but we can assume distributed as follows:
20% max load 200kg
30% load 150 kg
50% load 100 kg
with always variable load applications
so I ask you
1) Are there any fem tools that allow to vary the load in the fatigue calculation?
2) if I have fixed loads to be applied to the machine in physical testing, what load would you charge during all 100k cycles to have a reliable fatigue test?
