Simulation

Static durability of vehicle structures

FEA (Finite Element Analysis)

Static durability of vehicle structures

Characteristic service loads of the vehicle, such as acceleration, cornering, or braking, are modeled using quasi-static loads.

Field of expertise:

Simulation

Application area:

Fatigue| Welded structure

Industry:

Autobus

The structure is modeled in whole, using a shell model. Boundary conditions are applied through a simplified suspension. Stress results are then used for evaluating constant amplitude fatigue of the welds, and it provides a quick and reliable insight into the structure’s stiffness, and durability weak-spots.
