Fatigue Life Assessments of the AISI 1513 Carbon Steel Subjected to Road Surface Strains

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this work was to predict the fatigue life of the AISI 1513 carbon steel due to the strains measured at a vehicle's lower arm. The strain signals were acquired using a strain gauge installed at the lower arm, and then the car was driven at various road surfaces. On the smooth road surface, the car was driven at a speed of > 70 km/h and on the rough road surface, at a speed of < 20 km/h. The results show that when the vehicle was driven on the rough road, the lower arm received higher stress, which provided a shorter fatigue life. The contour of the road surfaces provided a vertical load, directly working the lower arm and reducing the load vertically. The fatigue life for the rough road surface was 13,050 cycles to failure. This value was 91,195% lower than the fatigue life on the smooth road surface.
