The method of fatigue life evaluation and validation testing under operational conditions is a prerequisite to achieve optimal designs with respect to weight and long-term durability of the structure considered. Criteria like driving behavior and braking performance, influenced by global stiffness as well as fatigue life evaluation were taken into account when optimizing a forged 6.5 front axle beam of a heavy truck. The procedure for weight optimization includes the following steps: Stress analysis e.g. using strain gage techniques and/or Finite Element Method. Road load data acquisition and derivation of design spectrum describing customer usage. Fatigue testing under constant amplitude and/or variable amplitude loading to establish component related SN-curves and/or fatigue life curves. Fatigue life evaluation using damage accumulation hypothesis (Miner's Rule). Optimization and weight reduction (in this case 14 % weight savings were achieved) based on fatigue life evaluation. Validation testing using multi-axial computer controlled, servohydraulic test rigs.
