@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14510, title = {Fatigue Life of an Anti-Roll Bar of a Passenger Vehicle}, author = {J. Marzbanrad and A. Yadollahi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In the present paper, Fatigue life assessment of an anti-roll bar component of a passenger vehicle, is investigated by ANSYS 11 software. A stress analysis is also carried out by the finite element technique for the determination of highly stressed regions on the bar. Anti-roll bar is a suspension element used at the front, rear, or at both ends of a car that reduces body roll by resisting any unequal vertical motion between the pair of wheels to which it is connected. As a first stage, fatigue damage models proposed by some well-known references and the corresponding assumptions are discussed and some enhancements are proposed. Then, fracture analysis of an anti-roll bar of an automobile is carried out. The analysed type of the anti-roll bar is especially important as many cases are reported about the fracture after a 100,000 km of travel fatigue and fracture conditions. This paper demonstrates fatigue life of an anti-roll bar and then evaluated by experimental analytically results from other researcher.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {2}, year = {2012}, pages = {407 - 413}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14510}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/62}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 62, 2012}, }
