The terms and definitions, as defined in GB 11551, GB/T 3730.1, GB/T 3730.2, GB/T
3730.3, as well as the following terms and definitions, apply to this standard.
Test accompanied parts of torsion beam rear axle
Parts required to ensure that the torsion beam rear axle is installed on the bench, in the
same state as on the actual vehicle.
Test load expression: Test load = mean ± amplitude.
4.1.9 All calculated loads in this standard are allowed to retain to the single digit when
loading.
4.1.10 The test shall be monitored; abnormal situations shall be recorded. If cracks are
observed in the test piece, the observation time, crack length, corresponding cycle times
shall be recorded; the test shall be stopped, after reaching the failure criterion.
4.1.11 Both the supplier and the buyer can agree or adjust the test method of the product,
according to their own product characteristics.
4.2 Performance requirements
4.2.1 Test items
4.2.1.1 Fatigue life test under torsional loading
Carry out the test according to 5.1; the test frequency is not less than 1.0 Hz; the number
of loading N is 300000.
4.2.1.2 Fatigue life test under lateral loading
Carry out the test according to 5.2; the test frequency is not less than 1.0 Hz; the number
of loading N is 200000.
4.2.1.3 Fatigue life test under longitudinal loading
Carry out the test according to 5.3; the test frequency is not less than 1.0 Hz; the number
of loading N is 300000.
4.2.1.4 Fatigue life test of spring disk
Carry out the test according to 5.4; the test frequency is not less than 1.0 Hz; the number
of loading N is 300000.
4.2.1.5 Fatigue life test of shock absorber bracket
Carry out the test according to 5.5; the test frequency is not less than 1.0 Hz; the number
of loading N is 300000.
4.2.2 Failure criteria
4.2.2.1 The crack length, which is measured along the crack propagation direction on
the part surface, is equal to 10 mm.
4.2.2.2 The crack length, which is measured along the crack propagation direction at
the weld, is greater than or equal to 20 mm or 20% of the weld length (whichever is
smaller).
4.2.3 Evaluation indicators
The cycle life of the specimen shall meet the 95% reliability requirement, at the 50%
confidence level. See Appendix A for the selection of the number of specimens.
5 Test method
5.1 Fatigue life test under torsional loading
5.1.1 Fix the connection point of the body of the torsion beam rear axle to the bench,
by means of hinged joints. The spring, as test accompanied part, shall be installed on
the spring plate, according to the requirements of 4.1.3.
5.1.2 The loading point is located at the intersection of the wheel axis and the wheel
installation end surface on the trailing arm; the loading direction is along the Z-axis
direction; the two sides are reversely loaded, as shown in Figures 2 ~ 4.
5.1.3 Test load and calculation reference mass are calculated, according to formula (1)
and formula (2):
Where:
S - Torsional loading stroke, mm;
n - Number of seats;
M - Reference mass for test load calculation, kg;
L - Wheelbase, mm;
B - Rear tread, mm.
Where:
MCurb - Curb weight of automobile, kg.
