Strength and Fatigue Assessment of a Press According to the FKM Guideline
A structural integrity assessment was carried out for a press used in the production of wood-based panels, in accordance with the FKM guideline. The design was based on the maximum operating pressure and included both static and fatigue analyses to evaluate the structural performance.
- Structural assessment of hydraulic cylinders and frame components
- Static strength verification of base material and welds according to the FKM guideline
- Fatigue assessment of base material and welds according to the FKM guideline
- Weld evaluation based on nominal and notch stress concepts
- Bolt verification according to VDI 2230 (static and fatigue)
- Geometry optimization and adaptation of weld design to meet design requirements
