Abstract

The air suspension system is widely used in commercial vehicles such as buses or special purpose trucks because it improves ride better than any other types of suspension. Since the durability of vehicle parts is directly related to the safety, the evaluation of the durability at the design stage is necessary. In this research, the fatigue life of the air suspension frame for trucks is predicted by the modal stress recovery(MSR) method. Using the process proposed in this research, the fatigue life of vehicle parts can be predicted efficiently at the design stage.
