Abstract
In order to accurately calculate the fatigue life of the sub-frame weld of the mixer truck during the design stage, fatigue analysis of the weld is carried out by equivalent structural stress method. Through the finite element analysis of the frame, the key weld position is researched. By using the inertial release method, the stress response of the frame under the single excitation of the unit load is obtained. Combined with the basic principle of equivalent structural stress, the stress at the weld position is calculated, and the main S-N curve with a survival rate of 50% is selected to predict the fatigue life of the weld. The results show that the fatigue life of the key weld is 105.803 cycles, which fails to reach the design target value. The equivalent structural stress method has the characteristics of grid insensitivity and can better predict the fatigue life of the sub-frame weld of the mixer truck.
