Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

System dynamics is an increasingly important and useful topic in mechanical design and the evaluation of the fatigue behavior of materials, components, and mechanical systems.

The possibility of modeling the behavior of machines and their components in an extremely faithful manner, also using modal reduction techniques, enables an accurate assessment of stress state and, therefore, an accurate assessment of the fatigue behavior.

Dynamic analysis, for example, performed by multibody simulation, can faithfully simulate load conditions that can range from quasistatic cases to transient ones, also simulating the absolute and relative motion of the components and, therefore, the actual operating conditions.

In addition, innovative techniques of evaluation of fatigue behavior in the frequency domain, called vibration fatigue, are perfectly synergistic with the simulation techniques in the dynamic environment, which are also being carried out in the frequency domain more often.

This capability can reduce computational costs of fatigue strength, which can then be assessed extremely precisely even considering the nonlinear behavior of the system in the time domain by combining transient dynamic simulation with the classic techniques to assess fatigue behavior.

In this Special Issue, modern trends of dynamic and multibody simulation oriented toward fatigue evaluation of mechanical systems will be highlighted and discussed.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Additive manufactured structures are replacing the corresponding ones realized with classical manufacturing technique. As for metallic structures, 3D printed components are generally subjected to dynamic loading conditions which can lead to fatigue failure. In this context, it is useful, and sometimes mandatory, to determine the fatigue life of such components through numerical simulation. The methods currently available in literature for the estimation of fatigue life were originally developed for metallic structures and, therefore, it is now necessary to verify their applicability also for components fabricated with different materials. To this end, in the current activity three of the most used spectral methods for the estimation of fatigue life were used to determine the fatigue life of a 3D printed Y-shaped specimen realized in polylactic acid subjected to random loads with the aim of determining their adaptability also for this kind of materials. To certify the accuracy of the numerical prediction, a set of experimental tests were conducted in order to obtain the real fatigue life of the component and to compare the experimental results with those numerically obtained. The obtained outcomes showed there is an excellent match between the numerical and the experimental data, thus certifying the possibility of using the investigated spectral methods to predict the fatigue life of additive manufactured components.

This paper presents the results of experimental tests carried out on an electromagnetic shaker where the excited element was a specimen with additional weight attached to the slip table. The load was random with a different kurtosis parameter value, i.e., it was performed for non-Gaussian loads. The experiment was accompanied by basic fatigue calculations in the frequency domain and their verification with experimental results. A significant decrease in fatigue life was found to take place with an increase in kurtosis and the maintenance of the same standard deviation of the specimen load. The fatigue effect, caused by the deviation from the normal distribution that was described by the kurtosis parameter, on the fatigue life of aluminum alloy 6082 was presented. An analysis revealed the different amplitude probability distributions for the loading signal and the recorded deformation signal. It was concluded that there was a lack of sensitivity of the numerical model to the change in the kurtosis parameter of the distribution of random loads. Full article
