Abstract :
The fatigue reliability model of the kiln roller in crack initiation stage is developed by using the S-N curve approach in this paper. All related variables are discussed. Among them, the stress variable is obtained from the resultant stress calculated by using the finite element (FE) code ANSYS. Monte Carlo simulation technique is utilized for fatigue reliability evaluation. Some useful conclusions are drawn from the reliability curve of the example roller, that can help to make the maintenance schedule more effective.
