Design of a mini fatigue tensile machine

Abstract

This project is about the design of mini fatigue tensile machine by designing a low cost for the use of students. The project aims to study the tensile that occurs to the specimen during the tensile process. The design of this machine will use UGNX 6.0 as the software machine design. This machine will make the process of repetition to get the fatigue tensile of the specimen. These specimens will be pulled through the machine using the gripperby high torque of motor. Thus, the motor is an important part of the process of tensileto the specimen. After the design has been made, the machine must be studied to obtain high torque of motor that suitable for machinewhiletensile process. Software that will used to makeanalyze is Finite Element Analysis.Moreover, analysis had been done by two part of design which is slot and crank. Both of this will be resulted the critical area that had been apply force on it. Theoretically calculation will be calculated to form the graph based on force analysis.Through the design produced, this machine provides an understanding of the fatigue that occur on specimen.
