All Terrain Vehicle Flexible Multibody Dynamic Simulation for Fatigue Prediction

This study presents the flexible-body dynamic analysis and simulated stress recovery of vehicle components to predict their lifetime when maneuvering on an uneven random road. The subject of this study was an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The body frame and suspension system were modeled as flexible el...
