Abstract
Transmission Control Module (TCM) bracket is mounted on the vehicle chassis and is subjected to the random load excitation due to the uneven surface of the road. Assembly of the TCM bracket on the vehicle chassis induces some constant stress on it due to bolt preload, which acts as a mean stress along with the varying random loads. It is important for a design engineer and CAE analyst to understand the effect of all sources of loads on vehicle mount brackets while designing them. The objective of this study is to consider the effect of mean stress in the random vibration fatigue assessment of TCM bracket. The random vibration fatigue analyses are performed for all the three directions without and with consideration of mean loads and results are compared to show the significance of mean stresses in random vibration fatigue life. It was found from this study that mean stress affects the vibration fatigue life and it can increase or decrease the fatigue damage depending upon the nature of the mean stress.
