Finite Element Analysis on The AISI 4340 Steel Shaft
Keywords:
AISI steel, Finiet element method(FEM), maximum stress and total deformationAbstract
Finite Element Software was applied to predict and determine stress distribution in the machined AISI steel shaft. The cutting forces which were measured from experimental observation were compared with predicted ones from the FEM. The result showed that the predicted value for maximum stress and minimum stress are 0.107Mpa and 0.053Mpa respectively. The total
deformation of the AISI steel is 7.55e-10m for a spindle speed of 1182.57m/s. The predicted values were found to be within the recommended range of AISI materials and were with good precision when machined. The determined values from the Finite elements software were used to conduct experiment in the machine workshop so as to validate the results obtained
