Summary:

This case study involves the failure analysis of the wheel arch structure for a commercial truck. The wheel arch is an important vehicle trim aggregate from both the regulatory perspective (spray suppression) as well as from the aesthetics of the truck. But, the durability of this part is affected by the vehicle architecture, vehicle load capacity as well as the operating conditions. This is more critical due to the nature of the overhang experienced by the mounting bracket assemblies that hold these wheel arches/mud flaps. This generally consist of tubular and sheet metal welded structures bolted on to the main chassis long members. These failures were observed in a legacy vehicle, where very little details of the complete vehicle digital simulation and testing performance were readily available.This paper deals with the
