In this study, vibration fatigue analysis of a cantilever beam is performed using an in-house numerical code. Finite element model (FEM) of the cantilever beam verified by tests is used for the analysis. Several vibration fatigue theories are used to obtain fatigue life of the cantilever beam for white noise random input and the results obtained are compared with each other. Fatigue life calculations are repeated for different damping ratios and the effect of damping ratio is studied. Moreover, using strain data obtained from cantilever beam experiments, fatigue life of the beam is determined by utilizing time domain (Rainflow counting method) and frequency domain methods, which are compared with each other. In addition to this, fatigue tests are performed on cantilever beam specimens and fatigue life results obtained experimentally are compared with that of in-house numerical code. It is observed that the accuracy of the damping ratio is very important for accurate determination of fatigue life. Furthermore, for the case considered, it is observed that the fatigue life result obtained from Dirlik method is considerably similar to that of Rainflow counting method.

Multi-frequency contactless electrical impedance imaging using realistic head models : single coil simulations Gürsoy, Doğa; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Contactless electrical impedance imaging technique is based upon the measurement of secondary electromagnetic fields caused by induced currents inside the body. In this study, a circular single-coil is used as a transmitter and a receiver. The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to solve the induced current density distribution inside the realistic head model resulting from a sinusoidal excitation, (2) to calculate the impedance change of the same coil from the induced current distribution inside the head...
Defect acceptability under full-scale fretting fatigue tests for railway axles Foletti, S.; Beretta, S.; Gurer, G. (2016-05-01) This paper presents a new approach based on the application of a multiaxial high cycle fatigue criterion together with the use of El-Haddad correction for investigation of fretting fatigue in railway axles. Stress path along the axle-wheel contact, determined by the FE analysis, was implemented into different multiaxial fatigue criteria in order to predict critical sites of nucleation. The equivalent fatigue limit expressed by the applied criterion is compared with the crack size dependent fatigue limit des...
Fatigue life estimation of tuned vibration absorbers with response estimation method Yılmaz, Yunus; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-5-24) Tuned Vibration Absorbers are designed and used in applications where any unwanted vibration is needed to be elimination from a vibrating system. In order to accomplish that goal TVAs are needed to be designed to absorb vibrational energy on its own at a specified frequency. Since the energy is absorbed from main system to the TVA, this energy will cause high vibration levels on the TVA. Due to the excessive vibration that occurs on the TVA, vibrational fatigue life is a concern for TVA design. Vibrational ...
Vibration analysis of washing machines in the drum plane Baykal, Cem; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (Springer, Cham; 2019-02-20) In this study, a nonlinear mathematical model for drum-type washing machines is developed considering rotating unbalance type excitation. Nonlinear differential equations of motion are converted into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using harmonic balance method (HBM). The resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are solved by using Newton’s method with arc-length continuation. Several case studies are performed in order to observe the effects of orientation angles of springs and dampers supporting ...
Implementation of Dirlik’s damage model for the vibration fatigue analysis Demirel, Gürzap İ.; Kayran, Altan (2019) Mechanical fatigue is an important phenomenon when the structures are exposed to dynamic, fluctuating loadings. Especially aerospace structures are commonly exposed to random vibration loadings. In this paper, random vibration fatigue is studied both numerically and experimentally. For this purpose, a rectangular cross-section notched beam is designed in order to conduct the vibration fatigue analysis in the frequency domain by the Dirlik's damage model. Aluminum and steel notched beams are prepared in orde...
