Abstract:
Modern approaches to durability assurance in ground vehicle design are reviewed in the context of recent developments in computer-based analytical and experimental tools for use by designers and development engineers. Examples, using an automotive wheel assembly, are presented to illustrate the application of fatigue analysis in product development. Major challenges associated with the linking of various design tools into integrated networks appropriately configured for industrial problem solving are discussed along with an assessment of the potential benefits to be gained from such integration.
