Abstract
This research is about a simulation of the fatigue life of 316L stainless steel at room temperature via the investigation of the fatigue limit in the Ansys software. This approach is helpful in time and cost savings for testing the material. The finite element method (FEM) has turned out to be generally utilized as a part of the industry to conjecture the aftereffect of real investigation to spare cost, time, and analysis’ errors. This research was performed in the SolidWorks software as the primary method, and the stainless steel specimen was imported to the Ansys software for the fatigue life test. The findings from the simulation were compared with the experimental results from the literature to ensure that the percentage error would be less than 20%. The simulated fatigue life estimation method was validated through analytical calculation with an average error of 2.25% between experimental and simulated data and 10.94% between simulated data and the theoretical Basquin approach. Overall, the fatigue life test through Ansys software was valid and acceptable for the endurance limit and life cycle for room temperature fatigue on steel.
