Truck frame design must take maximum advantage of opportunities for interchange of components and features; preliminary design planning must establish numbers and locations of cross members, cab dimensions, suspension attaching points, side rail contours required for chassis and cab clearance; A.O.Smith uses IBM 7074 computer to determine bending stress and deflection of side rail; details of computer program which is capable of accepting any combination of concentrated loads, concentrated moments, and side rail section sizes; fatigue testing, manufacturing operations, and quality control measures are also described.
