A systems approach was used to reduce development time for product evaluation. The approach combines field measured load-time data with finite element modeling and strain-life prediction techniques. This allows the design engineer to estimate component life of design alternatives prior to construction and testing. The approach is illustrated with examples from the design evaluation of a motor grader main frame.
