The Fatigue, Evaluation, and Design committee of the SAE proposed an effort to “develop new correlated software that will allow engineers to measure the durability of components of proposed vehicle by means of a digital prototype simulation.” This project is often referred to the “ATV Project.” This website presents results from a effort here at the University of Toledo that focused on ATV dynamic modeling and stress time history prediction. Three graduate students, Girish Markale, Nikhil Kulkarni, and Kaustubh Shenoy, contributed to this effort. Also, Professor Ric Mousseau, served as the principle investigator. This site is “under construction” and anticipate additions over the coming weeks.
