Prediction Methods and Evaluation of the Fatigue Life for Automotive Structural Components

by Xintian Liu PhD, Yu Fang PhD, Xu Wang PhD, Xiaolan Wang PhD

Overview

Prediction Methods and Evaluation of the Fatigue Life for Automotive Structural Components covers this important component that affects the performance of the entire vehicle. The light weight of automotive structural components is one of the sustainable solutions to energy and environmental issues, and the development technology of its core components and vehicle performance evaluation technology are its key development directions. To gradually replace traditional cars on a large scale, electric vehicles need to address the durability and reliability issues of the entire vehicle and key components. - Covers fatigue life prediction and evaluation for automotive structural components based on product forward design - Includes prediction methods of fatigue life for different structural components - Helps readers gain an understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of structural components fatigue life
