The document discusses the design and development of a test rig to test the fatigue strength of front axles and suspension systems. The test rig will subject the axles to different types of repeated and fluctuating stresses through a bell crank mechanism attached to an electric motor and flywheel. It will be approximately 1500mm in length and 250mm in diameter. The test rig is estimated to weigh 3000kg and components will include a mechanical fixture, electric motor, flywheel, strain gauges and amplifier. Development will occur over 4 phases from January to April focusing on requirements clarification, product research, and design presentations.
