Example 1: Ice Cream Drink Mixer Blade Failures.
excessive assembly stresses and inappropriate detail design caused the failures.
‘The mixer blade is slightly deformed by the contact between tl
‘the bottom of the assembly and the bends at the bottom. ‘shoulders of the two mixer
arms.
A- The screw. that fastens the wavy washer and the mixer blade to the spindle in
the centre of the assembly places an upward force on the bottoms of the arms.
2. This results in the observed inward deflection of the arms.
3- Bending force places the inside radii of the two shoulders in tension.
4- Rotational forces add to the tensile loads on the inside radii of the
shoulders.
‘Analysis:
aavinies revealed multiple fatigue crack origins on the inside radii of the
bends at the bottom Shoulders .
» Shaulders on the arms were cold bent, introducing tensile residual stresses
othe inside radii of the shoulders and ereating a localized arcu of fatigue
susceptibility due to the inherent notch sensitivity of cold-formed 300 series
stainless steel.

1- Recommendations included the addition of a stand-off washer between
the wavy washer and the bottom shoulders of the blade,
2-Or modification of the shape of the wavy washer to prevent contact
with the blade shoulders as assembled.ee
