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

This study aims to determine the effect of road surface contours on fatigue life of coil springs and lower suspension arm. In this study, strain gauge was affixed to the critical point of the minibus front suspension coil springs based on stress distribution. Strain signal obtained was analyzed using the Coffin-Manson, Morrow, and SWT approaches. From the results of the chemical composition test, it was found that the coil springs were made of SAE 5160 and lower suspension arm made of AISI 1513. From the results of this study it can be concluded that when the vehicle drive on the damaged road, coil spring and lower suspension arm received greater stress so that provide shorter fatigue life. Fatigue life of coil spring on rough roads is 16% lower than city roads and 7% lower than flat roads. Whereas fatigue life of lower suspension arm on rough roads is 27% lower than city roads and 0.03% lower than flat roads. So that the coil spring components fail faster than the lower suspension arm. This is because the contour of the road surface provides a vertical load so that it is in accordance with the function of the coil spring which works to reduce the load vertically while the lower suspension arm function holds the load when turning.
