Abstract

This project was aimed to run finite element analysis on spot welded joint model to predict and determine fatigue life for spot welded by using Solidworks software. The material that is using is the galvanized iron and aluminum. Two plates of galvanized iron and aluminum will be analyzed in the Solidworks software reacted as two plates that are using by spot welding. There will be studies about fatigue life on the material that are used. The materials that will be analyzed have different thicknesses. The load will be applied to the material to determine what are the limitation of the material can hold before it fatigue. The data from cycle time and loading of the material will be collected and it will be analyzed which are the effective method to reduce the fatigue of the material. Fatigue life will be observed through the finite element analysis which consists of the contour plot in the simulation process. The value that causes the fatigue of the material can be determined from the contour plot. The result of the prediction will be compared to an experimental data in finding the best performance and analysis method. From the data that have been collected, it will show that which cycle time and loading that are suitable for materials to prevent the fatigue failure in the spot welding.
