Finite Element Method Simulation and Multifactor Failure Analysis of an Important Stepped Shaft Fracture Events



ABAQUS finite element method was used to simulate and analyze a fracture event of an important stepped shaft parts. The results show that the stress concentration is serious at the step where shaft fracture occurs. The maximum stress occurs at the R2 transition corner and the value under the most unfavorable condition is 319.9MPa, which exceeds the yield strength limit of the material. SEM and X-ray analysis, design analysis, machining quality analysis and Heat Treatment process quality analysis show that fracture of the shaft is a fatigue fracture initiated by multiple sources, and the initiation is mainly related to the small turning radius of the step. The rough surface with micro-defects may be the origin of fatigue crack initiation, and the improper control of the quenching and tempering process has a negative impact on the initiation of the crack.

Host city and venue - Belgrade

Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is a vibrant European city located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. Known for its rich history, cultural diversity, and dynamic atmosphere, Belgrade offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity.

As a regional hub for business, engineering, and innovation, Belgrade provides an excellent setting for an international conference. The city is well connected by air, road, and rail, making it easily accessible for participants from across Europe and beyond.

The conference venue is situated in a modern, fully equipped facility, offering high-quality technical infrastructure and comfortable spaces for lectures, workshops, and networking. Together, the city and venue create an inspiring environment for professional exchange, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. Read more...
