Simulation and Calculation Model of Contact Fatigue Life of Military Aviation Electrical Connector
Military aviation electrical connector is the basic component widely used in weapon equipment and its main failure mode is contact fatigue failure.The simulation of it can save a lot of manpower,material resources and provide an important reference for theoretical and experimental research. First of all, the parametric model of a certain type of 38999 series 22# common contact is established by using SOLIDWORKS, and then ABAQUS simulation is used to analyze the change of contact stress\strain and the insertion force in the process of single contact-and-insertion in this paper.At last,the fatigue life of the electrical connector contacts is simulated by using the FE-SAFE software based on the boundary conditions of the contact performance.The simulation method presented in this paper has an important reference value for the research on the verification of the contact life of electrical connectors.
