SURFACE LEVELS OF SURFACE DRIVING COMPLETELY DOWNLOAD ON A LIGHT TRUCK

Abstract

This paper presents “Fatigue-strength” of the "Half-shaft", of driving wheel,
which was fully unloaded type, in Frontier K165 light truck, which was
manufactured in Vietnam. The paper have applied the theoretical research
method, with Matlab software in order to build the “Fatigue-strength curve” of
the "Half-shaft", and determining the stress on the section of that, in some
operation cases; From there find out the time-serving of that "Half-shaft", until
that was damaged. The results of this Fatigue-strength study can be used as
reference material in the design and operation of truck.
