Finite Element Modeling of Riveted Lap Joint and T-Joint Fillet Weld

Finite Element analysis of riveted lap joint and fillet weld T-joint is carried in this research work. This research work shows that the stress analysis on different riveted lap joint (Chain and zigzag riveting joint) and fatigue analysis of T-joint fillet weld. In the present work include validation of stress analysis. Further comparison between fatigue life determined through Finite Element Analysis and Fatigue Life through calculated theoretically is shown in the present work. Finite Element Analysis of riveted lap joint and fillet weld T-joint is done with the help of ANSYS Workbench 15.0. Modal analysis of riveted lap joint is also performed.
