Abstract

Recently drum washing machines are required to improve not only functions, but also endurance security. The spider is one of the major parts in a drum washing machine as a power transmission device. It is needed estimating for fatigue life because it rotates at high velocity when the drum washing machine works. In this study, we tried to estimate fatigue life of the Spider with CAE and verified the accuracy by comparing the CAE results with the experimental results. The estimation method of fatigue life for the spider with CAE will be applied to raise the efficiency of time and money in the design process of a new drum washing machine.
