The overall goal of vehicle design is to make a robust and
reliable product that meets the demands of the customers and this
book treats the topic of analysing and describing customer loads
with respect to durability.

Guide to Load Analysis for Vehicle and Durability
Engineering supplies a variety of methods for load analysis and
also explains their proper use in view of the vehicle design
process. In Part I, Overview, there are two chapters presenting the
scope of the book as well as providing an introduction to the
subject. Part II, Methods for Load Analysis, describes useful
methods and indicates how and when they should be used. Part III,
Load Analysis in view of the Vehicle Design Process, offers
strategies for the evaluation of customer loads, in particular
characterization of customer populations, which leads to the
derivation of design loads, and finally to the verification of
systems and components.

Key features:

* Is a comprehensive collection of methods for load analysis,
vehicle dynamics and statistics

* Combines standard load data analysis methods with
statistical aspects on deriving test loads from surveys of customer
usage

* Sets the methods used in the framework of system dynamics
and response, and derives recommendations for the application of
methods in engineering practice

* Presents a reliability design methodology based on
statistical evaluation of component strength and customers
loads

* Includes case studies and illustrative examples that
translate the theory into engineering practice

Developed in cooperation with six European
truck manufacturers (DAF, Daimler, Iveco, MAN, Scania and
Volvo) to meet the needs of industry, Guide to Load Analysis for
Vehicle and Durability Engineering provides an understanding of
the current methods in load analysis and will inspire the
incorporation of new techniques in the design and test
processes.

Autor

Pär Johannesson received his PhD in Mathematical Statistics in 1999 at Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden, with a thesis on statistical load analysis for fatigue. During 2000 and 2001 he had a position as PostDoc at Mathematical Statistics, Chalmers within a joint project with PSA Peugeot Citroën, where he stayed one year at the Division of Automotive Research and Innovations in Paris. From 2002 to 2010 he was an applied researcher at the Fraunhofer-Chalmers Research Centre for Industrial Mathematics in Göteborg, and in 2010 he was a guest researcher at Chalmers. He is currently working as a research engineer at SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, mainly within industrial and research projects on statistical methods for load analysis, reliability and fatigue. Michael Speckert received his PhD in Mathematics at the University of Kaiserslautern in 1990. From 1991 to 1993 he worked at TECMATH in the human modelling department on optimization algorithms. From 1993 to 2004 he worked at TECMATH and LMS in the departments for load data analysis and fatigue life estimation in the area of method as well as software development. Since 2004 he works at the department for Dynamics and Durability at Fraunhofer ITWM as an applied researcher. His main working areas are statistical and fatigue oriented load data analysis and multi body simulation techniques.
