Abstract

One of the input variables in the durability analysis in automotive research is the load history. Since the nature of fatigue road loadings contain a mixture of high and low amplitude cycles, high amplitude cycles play a part in determining the degree of damage occurring. Therefore, it seems appropriate to see a method to summarise road load data. The process can be performed using a computational algorithm of fatigue data editing, known as Wavelet Bump Extraction (WBE) algorithm. This algorithm was developed for extracting fatigue damaging events, or bumps, from a fatigue road loading in order to produce a shortened signal. Finally, it is important to maintain the fatigue damage of the shortened signal as close to the original signal, with the retention of the original load sequences.
