Prevention of the Fracture Problem Occurring in Automotive Alternator Heatsink Blocks Using Artificial Intelligence
Journal: Applied Sciences
Year: 2024

In this study, prevention of fracture in vibration fatigue testing of automotive alternator heatsink blocks was investigated using an artificial neural network. Automotive components such as alternator heatsink blocks are subjected to high cyclic vibration fatigue loads throughout their lifespan, which can lead to the formation and propagation of fatigue cracks and ultimately component failure. The basic parameters affecting the resonant frequency of the heatsink blocks, including geometry and l
