Fatigue Life Assessment of Ground Vehicle Components

Source

Fatigue has been a major problem in ground vehicle components for more than 130 years. This paper considers why our increasing knowledge of fatigue has now significantly reduced its importance. A historical review of past work in a wide range of vehicle components is presented. The different aspects of durability assessment—namely, service load measurement, materials testing, stress analysis, and component testing—are concentrated on in turn. The work is brought up to the present by use of examples of how modern methods of fatigue analysis are being applied to contemporary problems.
