A multi-criteria structural–durability assessment methodology for steel, aluminium and hybrid semi-trailer chassis under service-oriented loading envelopes
This study presents a structural–durability assessment methodology for S355JR steel, AA6082-T6 aluminium-intensive and steel–aluminium hybrid semi-trailer chassis architectures under a common loading framework. Finite-element structural response is combined with literature-derived constituent stress–life (S–N) relati...
