FEMFAT spectral extension module: Vibration fatigue strength evaluation
It can significantly reduce the computation time for fatigue life analysis, which requires extensive time series data analysis.
In highly random excitation mechanisms (such as vibrations caused by bench tests or road surface inputs), analyzing vast amounts of time series data requires significant computational costs. FEMFAT spectral provides the optimal solution to this challenge. By directly performing damage calculations from multi-axis time series inputs in the frequency domain (random response fatigue), it can significantly reduce the computation time for fatigue life analysis. To achieve this, FEMFAT spectral transforms data into the frequency domain known as PSD (Power Spectral Density). This allows for damage calculations under multi-axis loading conditions to be executed directly in the frequency domain. In many application cases, the excitation loads are not completely independent. Therefore, FEMFAT spectral offers the option to consider the correlation between individual excitation loads by defining the cross power spectral density (cross PSD). Utilizing cross PSD provides an additional advantage by allowing the equivalent stress PSD to be statistically formed correctly. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*
