Abstract

In this paper, a model of an engine case is designed in Pro/Engineer for fatigue simulation. The meshing is created by the way of Abaqus. According to the working conditions, the boundary restriction of the simulation is defined. By the simulation, the heat distribution of the engine case is given, the causes of relatively high temperature areas are discussed, and the heat-stress distribution is drawn too. The high stress area in the engine case is discovered. The simulation result shows that the steady working stress is about 60MPa, the transient stress is between 90MPa to 120MPa, and the maximal stress is 136MPa. Based on the heat stress the fatigue life of the engine case is analyzed. The research result is a reference of the engine case safe working.
