Durability plays a major role in the design of truck body structures due to the severe duty cycle they experience. Therefore, it is very useful to have up-front analytical tools to identify potential durability problems early in a vehicle program to provide better design direction. The yield-strength-based durability design process involves performing only stress analysis of truck body structures. This has its limitations with respect to making decisions on designs for durability performance. A durability design process involving fatigue analysis has been established for truck body structures. The advantages of this process over the yield-strength-based durability design process are significant in terms of reducing the design cycle time and producing an optimally designed structure.
