FATIGUE ANALYSIS OF GROUND VEHICLE COMPONENTS
Recent advances in material and structural fatigue methodology are reviewed in the context of their applicability to ground vehicle design. The construction and utilization of a package of interactive computer program modules, that enable the formulation and solution of a wide variety of ground vehicle fatigue problems, is then described. Examples are presented to demonstrate the use of such a tool at various stages of the product development and validation cycle. For the covering abstract of the conference see TRRL 391971. (TRRL)
