Özet
This paper is concerned with the fracture analysis of an agitator shaft of a large vessel and predicting its high cycle fatigue life. The agitator shaft has a circumferential notch around it and is subjected to remote bending and torque created by the mixing operation. The problem is comprised (i) the analyses of the bending force and torque acting on the agitator by using the analytical method, (ii) calculation of stress intensity factors under mode I and III loading conditions by using finite element method and, (iii) fatigue analysis of the agitator shaft failed in service. An agitator model is set up and data obtained from the agitator are processed to make more realistic approximations for bending forces, since they form a base for stress analysis, in which mode I stress intensity factors are evaluated. Mode I stress intensity factors obtained by finite element analysis are compared with the results provided by using the body force method. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
