The objective of the thesis was to assess the lifespan of support elements used in the assembly of snap-fit joints on a product. These elements were made of polyoxymethylene (POM). Using the ABAQUS software, we conducted a static analysis of the loading on the elements and, based on the results, determined their lifespan under cyclic loading. We divided the problem into three samples, which were analyzed individually. We found that the internal stresses under the anticipated load are significantly lower than the allowable limits. This means that all three samples fall within the range of permanent dynamic strength.
