Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of road conditions on the fatigue life of coil springs using the strain life approach. This approach is accomplished by measuring the strain signal in the coil spring at the front of the car with a strain gauge at the component's critical point. Three different types of roads, namely flat roads, uphill roads, and downhill roads were chosen to test the strain signals obtained. After analysis, it was found that the fatigue life of the coil spring on the downhill road had the lowest value of 1.52e+4 cycles before it broke. This value is 54% lower than the fatigue life on flat roads and 96% lower than on uphill roads. This result is due to the braking factor on the way down which puts a higher tension on the coil springs, reducing their fatigue life. This study can contribute to the automotive industry to consider different road conditions in the design and testing of their products, especially in critical components such as coil springs. The strain life approach has also been shown to be effective in evaluating the fatigue life of automobile components, which can help improve vehicle quality and safety.

Abstract

In the previous studies, prediction of fatigue life at the lower suspension arm is only done based on strain signals obtained on a straight road. Considering the main function of the lower suspension arm is to stabilize the vehicle when turning, the purpose of this study is to predict the fatigue life of the lower suspension arm when the vehicle goes straight and turns clockwise and counterclockwise. The three roads are passed by vehicles with a speed of 30 km/hour. Measurement of strain signals is done by attaching a strain gauge to the lower suspension arm on the left side of the vehicle. Based on the simulation results based on the strain-life approach the lowest fatigue life is given by turning clockwise direction with 2.56E+6 cycles so that it breaks using the Coffin-Manson model. This value is low than the age of fatigue life when the vehicle goes straight and turns counterclockwise, each with 5.85E+6 cycles so it breaks and 5.08E+7 cycles so it breaks. This value is also comparable to that produced by the Morrow and SWT models. When the vehicle turns right, the lower suspension arm on the left side receives a strain that is greater than when the vehicle turns left, which is 5%. Strain received by the lower suspension arm can shorten the fatigue life of the component. Turning roads shorten the fatigue life of lower suspension arm so that 44% compared to straight roads.
