  • In this research, the implementation of Shell of Kiln problem has been discussed. The results obtained in this research are taken based on the simulation and experimental work. This research discusses only the simulation work. The simulation works are performed to evaluate the fatigue of the shell of a kiln. To validate the characteristic of fatigue problem simulation, the mechanical and thermal load are implemented on the shell of a kiln. The results are analyzed in detail in this research for fatigue life for the shell of a kiln. In this work, the shell of the kiln has been modeling by solid works and Fast 2014. All the boundary conditions (mechanical load, thermal load, Young’s modulus, density, etc.) must be evaluated such as the actual condition. This simulation showed how the most relevant aspects of the developed work presented in this report can contribute to the state-of-the art of the analysis fatigue life of Rotary Cement Kiln technique with innovative ideas and strategies. It also reviews if the obtained results achieve the proposed objectives. The main goal of the work presented in this research is to propose fatigue life analysis algorithm in the shell of a kiln using finite element analysis. Due to the dimensionality of the problem addressed, the research specification has to set limits to the applicability of the research by selecting only mechanical load problems in rotary cement kiln tasks; and goal-seeking, to predict the fatigue life simulation investigated. From the simulation, model and boundary conditions are defined. Crack growth behaviour in the rotary kiln was predicted. As the crack grows, the speed of crack depth increase.
