Analysis of Load Test Fixture Acting Under Static Loading Condition
Vineet V. Gosavi, Dr. K. H. Inamdar
Abstract: Structural items include various fabricated and machined items. Various types of fabrication processes like welding; bending; riveting etc. and machining processes like grinding; milling and turning are carried out to produce different components. When these components are assembled to have final product; lots of problems are faced. Problems like crack formation; wear of components; failure of component in service etc. arise. So to avoid this; Root-Cause Analysis of these defects is carried out and production process is modified as per the results of analysis. Root-Cause Analysis consists of why-why analysis; process sheets preparation; design of jigs and fixtures if necessary and design of inspection gauges and templates for inspection purpose. Load test fixture is used to check the sustainability of the component under given operating load. If cracks or any defects are found then root-cause analysis of those defects is carried out.
