Front-End Loader Linkage

Durability Analysis Using Load

Input from True-Load

This paper describes the use of True-Load, and FEA based fatigue weld analysis to evaluate the durability of a front-end loader linkage. True-Load software along with unit load FEA was used to determine time history loads for a field operation with dynamic loading that resulted in fatigue failures of the linkage. The time history loading was then used to compare the durability of design alternatives and determine a design that met the simulation criteria.
