Fatigue Damage Simulation Of Automobile Steering Knuckle Subjected To Variable Amplitude Loading

Fatigue damage assessment is essential in determining the durability of automobile components. Several studies have been conducted on fatigue durability of steering knuckle using constant amplitude loading. However, most of the engineering structural and components are subjected to Variable Amplitud...
