Lifetime Assessment and Optimization of a Welded A-Type Frame in a Mining Truck Considering Uncertainties of Material Properties and Structural Geometry and Load

Abstract: In order to improve the fatigue performance of a welded A-type frame in a heavy off-road mining truck, a novel method was presented to implement lifetime and weight collaborative optimization while considering uncertainties in geometry dimension, material properties, and bearing load. The...
