UNCONFIRMED
MINUTES OF A MEETINGS OF


 




SAE Fatigue Design and Evaluation Committee




Road
Load Data Division





Toledo,
Oh (16-17
October 2001)




 





Tuesday, October 16 - Divisional Progress Meeting

    
  
  1. Christoph Leser moderated the meeting.
  
  2. Minutes from the previous meeting were not available and therefore not
    approved.
  
  3. Robert Geisler of GM gave a presentation entitled:
    "Using
    Analytical Loads Prediction to Using Analytical Loads Prediction to Assist
    in Generating Laboratory Assist in Generating Laboratory Dynamic Loads for
    Durability Testing Dynamic Loads for Durability Testing"
  
  4. Darragh Murphy of MTS Systems Corporation gave a presentation entitled:
    "Automated Road Load Data Anlysis for Verification of Data Integrity"
  
  5. Christoph Leser of MTS Systems Corporation gave an update on "ATV
    Shock Absorber Load Modeling"





Wednesday, October 17 - Divisional Planning Meeting


Christoph Leser chaired the meeting 


As per the last meeting the RLDA group will support the ATV group when requested.



New activities - no proposals for new activities were made.


The RLDA group will evaluate "automated data analysis tools". To
this end MTS and nCode will be contacted to use their automated tools on
existing SAE ground vehicle load records. To verify that the original histories
are valid Tom Cordes of John Deere and Brian Dabell (formerly GKN) of nCode and
Mark Early on the the recently acquired ATV records could be contacted.


Efstratios Nikolaidis suggested reviving statistical road load analysis. There
is an SAE committee on probabilistic Design that he will contact to give us
input on how statistical variations in loads need to be considered for to
account for probabilistic aspects in design.


The meeting was adjourned.
