LIFE PREDICTION METHOD

[mukisuspension]

Hi freinds

Can you help me to locate a good fatigue life calcualting software based on rainflow method which has s-n curve equations and other material properties.
I want to input the service load history collected from real road data.

regards

You can pay a lot of money for software that will do all you ask, N-Code is one that comes to mind. We found it easier and cheaper to write our own macro in Excel for the rainflow counting and used the information in British Standards such as BS5500 for the S-N data to determine the overall fatigue life.
